## The brief

EFF reviews changes Flock Safety has announced for its license plate reader system, including shorter default retention, filtering of access by offense and expanded auditing. The organization acknowledges potential improvements but questions their durability and effectiveness. It argues that binding legal limits and oversight are needed instead of relying solely on policies chosen by surveillance vendors.
