@kcur893 Data collected by Flock cameras in Kansas City, Kansas, was searched more than a million times in just 30 days, mostly by out-of-state police departments. A KCUR investigation shows that those numbers largely come from so-called freeform searches, or wide-reaching and vague searches of Flock’s entire national database, often not limited to details about vehicles. KCUR’s Zach Perez and Sam Zeff break down how these searches work and why they’re causing local, state and federal lawmakers to worry about the privacy of their constituents. 🎤 Hosted, filmed and produced by Zach Perez 🎬 Edited by Madeline Fox 🖥️ Based on reporting/research by KCUR’s Sam Zeff, STLPR, and The Missouri Independent #kansascity #flock #privacy ♬ original sound - KCUR - Kansas City
