Halo Summary:
Flock Safety has updated its license-plate reader system in Houston with a new drop-down menu, requiring officers to select a reason before running a search. This shift follows questions about vague or undocumented uses of the tech—like searches flagged for “immigration”—and aims to add a layer of transparency. The policy tweak doesn’t restrict access but builds in a check to help track how the tool is used. It’s a small change that could signal a broader move toward tighter digital oversight.
