Senator Josh Hawley invites surveillance tech CEOs to testify
Senator Josh Hawley has invited the CEOs of Flock Safety, Axon Enterprise, Motorola Solutions, and Verkada to testify before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Counterterrorism. The investigation centers on privacy concerns and mass surveillance related to Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs).
Hawley cited specific instances of misuse or error, including a case in Florida where a resident was jailed for 13 days and faced multiple felony counts due to incorrect information processed by Flock cameras. He also noted an incident in Milwaukee involving unauthorized license plate searches by a police officer.
In response to the invitation, a spokesperson for Verkada stated that their CEO is unable to attend the hearing. The company maintained that its customers can only access data within their own individual systems and that no national Verkada network exists.
