ATLANTA — With concerns growing over the misuse of Flock cameras, Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock is asking the Justice Department to establish national standards for law enforcement agencies using the technology.

More than a dozen Georgia law enforcement officers have been charged with abusing the system, but Warnock said there are likely many more cases that have not been identified.

“In the absence of any real robust tracking systems, for all we know this is just the tip of the iceberg,” Warnock said.

Warnock said he believes the lack of clear standards and protocols is eroding trust in law enforcement.

“We are deeply concerned about the misuse of ALPR systems and believe that appropriate safeguards are necessary to protect against unauthorized access and abuse, including by individuals who might misuse the technology to stalk and harass their victims. We also want to ensure that funding of these technologies is paired with appropriate oversight to ensure that the funding is not used to facilitate such abuse,” Warnock and Sen. Katie Britt said in a joint statement.

The push comes as Atlanta officials work on new regulations for Flock cameras and other public safety camera technology.

On Tuesday, the Atlanta City Council released details of proposed regulations that would create avenues for public input and transparency before surveillance technology is deployed or expanded.

The proposal would also provide a way to report potential misuse, officials add.
