Flock Safety offers voluntary buyouts amid backlash over license-plate recognition
Wired reported that Flock Safety unveiled a voluntary severance/buyout program it described as the company’s “most generous,” and expects a significant portion of its roughly 1,500-person workforce to express interest, granting buyouts to a majority of those who apply. The move follows mounting backlash over its license plate recognition technology, including a Washington Post report identifying 46 alleged misuse cases, state suspensions in Florida and Texas, and about 90 cities dropping Flock in August.
