State Senator Laura Murphy on regulating Flock and ALPRs
Q: How do you address concerns about FOIA and data accessibility, especially across state lines?
We constrained FOIA applicability to prevent improper external access, ensured data could be used only for law enforcement purposes, and created carve-outs to help locate missing persons while protecting privacy.
State Senator Laura Murphy on regulating Flock and ALPRs
Q: What initially led you to introduce the original bill regulating ALPRs and Flock cameras?
The initiative began with establishing protections and limits around data access, retention, and transparency, guided by privacy advocates like the ACLU, before expanding to broader use of ALPRs with safeguards.
A Illinois police officer on Flock and ALPR cameras
Q: How reliable are the Flock cameras in practice, for catching stolen vehicles or tracking crimes?

A Illinois police officer on Flock and ALPR cameras
Q: After having these ALPR cameras Mount Prospect, have we seen a reduction in crime?
