Flock Lobbying Efforts

Flock Safety has spent about $2 million on lobbying since 2025 as scrutiny grows over its automated license plate recognition technology, according to Open Secrets. The company spent nearly $1.3 million on federal lobbying between January 2025 and July 2026 and roughly $1 million in statehouses. California accounted for $180,000 in lobbying spending, followed by $169,000 in Massachusetts and $102,000 in Wisconsin. The report comes amid growing bipartisan criticism over privacy concerns and alleged misuse of Flock cameras. Privacy advocate Torin Monahan raised concerns about where Flock's data goes and how the company's AI systems may ultimately use it. Tempe, Arizona recently ended its Flock contract while Amazon ended a partnership connecting Ring cameras with Flock. For all things money, visit Benzinga.com.
