# Supreme Court decision raises questions about Flock Safety cameras
# News 5 Cleveland — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBQRwchTAXU

ROAD. POLICE SAY THEY'RE
LOOKING FOR THE VANDALS. SO
FLOCK CAMERAS HAVE BECOME
CONTROVERSIAL, MAINLY OVER
PRIVACY CONCERNS. AND NOW SOME
POLICING EXPERTS ARE WONDERING
IF A DECISION FROM THE HIGHEST
COURT IN THE LAND COULD LIMIT
THIS TYPE OF TECHNOLOGY.
I KNEW US SUPREME COURT
DECISION IS SHINING A LIGHT ON
POLICE TECHNOLOGY. I'M MORGAN
TRAU WITH THE COLUMBUS BUREAU
AND ALL AROUND THE STATE.
WE'VE SEEN CITIES WITH
GOVERNMENT CONTROLLED CAMERAS
TRYING TO BALANCE PUBLIC
SAFETY WITH THE RIGHT TO
PRIVACY. WE JUST HOPE THAT IT
IS NOT A TOOL THAT IS REMOVED
FROM OUR 2 ABOUT OFFICERS USE
GEO FENCE WARRANTS TO GET
LOCATION, DATA OF SUSPECT'S
CELL PHONES. OHIO FRATERNAL
ORDER OF POLICE. PRESIDENT JAY
MCDONALD SAYS THAT THEY CAN
HELP SOLVE CRIMES QUICKLY. WE
NEED TO APPREHENSIONS AND AS
QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE TO PREVENT
OTHER VIOLENT CRIMES. LEGAL
EXPERT MIKE PENCE EXPLAINS
THAT THE SEARCH, EVERY DEVICE
IN AN AREA MORE ENFORCEMENT
WILL GO TO GOOGLE, TAKING,
GIVE ALL OF THE IP ADDRESSES
OF ANY CONNECTED DEVICE.
IN THIS AREA AROUND THIS
TIME THAT THE U.S. SUPREME
COURT IS MAKING THEM HARDER OR
EVEN IMPOSSIBLE TO GET. THE
JUSTICES RULED THAT THESE
WARNS COULD CONSTITUTE AN
UNREASONABLE SEARCH AND
SEIZURE BECAUSE OFTENTIMES
CITIZENS DATA IS SCOOPED UP
AND INVESTIGATED. EVEN IF THEY
HAVE NO CONNECTION TO THE
CRIME. I DON'T BELIEVE MY.
CELL NUMBER BEING FOUND IS
PARTICULARLY TROUBLESOME TO IF
COMMITTED ANY CRIMES. BUT
BENZA SAID THAT JUST BECAUSE
SOMEONE ELSE COMMITTED A
CRIME, IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT
YOU NO LONGER HAVE PRIVACY.
THIS COULD HELP PREVENT A
SURVEILLANCE STATE. YES.
WHICH IS EXACTLY THE
CONCERN THAT THE COURT IS
ADDRESSING. CAN TECHNOLOGY
BASICALLY ELIMINATE THE 4TH
AMENDMENT PROTECTION. BUT THIS
RULING WORRIES LAW ENFORCEMENT
FOR ANOTHER REASON. FLOCK
CAMERAS ARE EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT. FLOCK SAFETY
CAMERAS TYPICALLY USED AS
LICENSE PLATE READERS ARE
FACING INCREASING PUSHBACK.
I'M NOT COMFORTABLE KNOWING
THAT MY MOVEMENTS OVER THE
LAST MONTH CAN BE
RECONSTRUCTED IN VERY GREAT
DETAIL. BENT EXPLAINS THAT
FLOCK CAMERAS THEMSELVES ARE
LIKELY NOT VIOLATING PRIVACY
LAWS IF THEY'RE JUST USED FOR
PLATE READING, THEY COULD DO
DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH DATA THE
COMPANIES COLLECTING AND HOW
AGENCIES ARE USING IT. USED TO
TRACK YOU. IT NOW STARTS TO
LOOK MORE LIKE THE GEO FANS
AND THE LOCATION DATA. THE
FLOCK CAMERA DEBATE COULD MAKE
