Get the FLOCK Out: Town Hall

With Flock Safety's license plate reader (LPR) technology, law enforcement agencies across the country can track Oklahomas drivers in real-time — without a warrant, probable cause, or even reasonable suspicion of wrongdoing. Flock's nationwide data sharing model puts our civil rights and civil liberties at risk.

Join the ACLU of Oklahoma and partners for a presentation from ACLU National and a panel conversation with impacted individuals as we discuss Flock's nationwide data sharing model and how local police departments that contract with Flock can choose to share the LPR data.

This event is free and open to the public.
