ATLANTA — The Atlanta City Council has released details of proposed new regulations for Flock cameras and other public safety camera technology.

The newly unveiled legislation would establish standards for the technology following reports of misuse by law enforcement.

“Powerful technology requires powerful oversight, transparency, and ultimately remedy,” Mayor’s Office Chief of Staff Courtney English said.

The proposal would require regular independent audits and independent investigations into potential wrongdoing. It would also establish protections surrounding data collected through the technology.

The proposed policy would also create avenues for public input and transparency before surveillance technology is deployed or expanded and provide a way to report potential misuse.

“We believe in Atlanta that we can create a system that allows us to protect our civil rights, protect our civil liberties, to protect our privacy, and allow us the ability to use this powerful technology to protect our citizens at the same time,” English said.

Dozens of law enforcement officers across Georgia have been fired or disciplined in recent weeks for allegedly misusing the Flock system, including searching license plates for personal purposes.

The Atlanta Police Department says none of its officers have been fired for improper searches. However, a city review found a small percentage of recent Flock searches by Atlanta officers were considered “questionable.”

The proposed legislation has now moved to the Atlanta City Council’s Public Safety Committee.
