Flock is reportedly developing a new AI tool, previously codenamed Nightshift and now called OS Investigate, that can identify individuals based on their driving habits and movements. This system, which utilizes a network of cameras across thousands of communities, allows law enforcement to search for people in a specified area using only a physical description, location, and time, without needing a license plate or even a crime report. Critics express concern that the tool could enable officers to 'go fishing' for potential suspects, raising significant privacy issues and the potential for misuse, similar to past allegations of Flock cameras being used for surveillance.
