LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — Nevada lawmakers from both sides of the aisle are looking to “guardrails” for Flock cameras and other advanced technology for license plate readers as debate over use and misuse heats up nationwide.
Lawmakers on the Joint Interim Standing Committee on the Judiciary discussed the issue of Flock cameras and a forthcoming Bill Draft Request on standards for government use of automated license plate reader systems.
Companies like Flock Safety have been under greater scrutiny nationwide over allegations of misuse by law enforcement. Our Gray Investigative team tracked dozens of allegations of police misuse in Georgia, and our sister station AZ Family reported an inquiry from the Arizona Attorney General after reports of an officer using cameras to track his wife.

“I know there’s a lot of questions and concerns and we hear a lot from the public on this, and and issues that we’ve seen not just locally, but nationally as well with this especially around the abuse and misuse of this type of technology by officers– and of course, constitutional infringement,” said Assemblymember Brittney Miller of Clark County District 5.
“I think we’re going to have a whole lot of discussion in the next session on this subject in particular, and guardrails are important,” said Assemblymember Alexis Hansen of District 32 in Northern Nevada.
FOX5 reported that CCSD Police paused use of Flock cameras until the new chief has finished a review.
