Analysis Summary
Flock Safety's Condor cameras can track and zoom on individual people in real time despite the company's public claims that the system doesn't track people. A journalist demonstrated this capability on video, and Fort Bend County law enforcement records show officers improperly queried license plates from single vehicles 41 to 148 times each, showing how these tools can enable misuse. The technology is being deployed nationwide by police departments, raising concerns about surveillance scope and potential for abuse that go beyond the company's stated capabilities.
