Fridley’s Flock cameras—automated license plate readers—are sparking debate over privacy and public safety.

After backlash over out-of-state agencies accessing immigration-related data, the city has shut down those searches and restricted access to Minnesota-only agencies. All images auto-delete after 60 days, and warrants are required to access vehicle histories. No facial recognition is used, and data is protected under Minnesota law—balancing tech’s benefits with civil liberties.
