Flock Safety Launches AI Tool That Tracks Drivers and Builds Dossiers With No Suspect or Crime Required

Flock Safety launches OS Investigate, an AI surveillance tool now active across 6,000+ communities that tracks drivers, maps movement patterns, and builds detailed dossiers using license plates, arrest records, and 911 logs — requiring no suspect, plate, or crime to initiate a search, sparking serious constitutional concerns over warrantless mass surveillance.

• Flock Safety, a vehicle surveillance company operating in over 6,000 communities, has developed a new AI tool called OS Investigate that can identify drivers, track vehicles by movement patterns, and generate detailed dossiers by cross-referencing license plate data with arrest records, commercial databases, and 911 dispatch logs.
• The system ships with 69 preloaded prompts allowing officers to search for people based on location, time, and behavioral patterns alone — with no specific suspect, plate, or crime required — raising serious constitutional concerns from legal and privacy experts over warrantless mass surveillance.
• Flock is rolling out the tool amid growing controversy, including documented officer misuse of its existing cameras to track women and monitor protesters, a state law violation in Illinois, and mounting public backlash — while the company continues hiring engineers to expand the AI platform's capabilities further.
