美国多州的中期选举候选人正将Flock Safety公司开发的监控摄像头系统作为竞选议题。该系统已在全美除阿拉斯加外每个州的6000个社区运行1，通过人工智能自动记录车辆的车牌和特征信息供执法部门使用，这引发了关于大规模监控合法性的广泛辩论。
支持者和批评者对该技术的价值看法不一。Flock公司副通讯总监MoMo Zhou表示，这项技术已帮助破获约100万起案件，并帮助约10000名失踪人员与家人团聚1。然而，许多候选人将其视为违宪的无令监控行为。宾夕法尼亚州州长Josh Shapiro表示本周支持全州禁用Flock摄像头1。威斯康星州民主党州长候选人David Crowley已发布命令限制密尔沃基县对Flock的使用1，而该州共和党候选人Tom Tiffany则承诺暂停州资金支持并成立工作小组建立隐私保护措施1。
执法部门内部存在分歧。黑人执法官员全国组织主席Mitchell Davis III称这类技术"不可或缺"，反对完全禁用1。佛罗里达州州长Ron DeSantis政府本周下令从州高速公路沿线移除自动车牌识别器1。
Flock Safety's automated license plate recognition cameras have become a divisive campaign topic in the U.S. midterm elections, reflecting broader voter anxiety over corporate surveillance power. The Atlanta-based company operates its camera system across 6,000 communities in every U.S. state except Alaska, using artificial intelligence to automatically record vehicle license plates and characteristics for law enforcement access.1 According to Flock Safety's deputy communications director MoMo Zhou, the technology has assisted in solving approximately one million cases and reuniting roughly 10,000 missing persons with their families.1
However, candidates across the political spectrum have made the system a campaign target. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro announced this week his support for a statewide ban on Flock cameras.1 Wisconsin Democratic gubernatorial candidate David Crowley stated he has issued an order restricting Milwaukee County's use of the technology.1 Republican candidate Tom Tiffany in Wisconsin proposed suspending state funding for the system and establishing a task force to develop privacy safeguards.1
The cameras have drawn criticism from privacy advocates who characterize the deployment as unconstitutional mass surveillance without warrants. Mitchell Davis III, president of the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives, described such technology as "indispensable" and opposed an outright ban.1 Florida Governor Ron DeSantis's administration ordered the removal of automatic license plate readers from state highway corridors this week.1 President Trump's administration indicated it is reviewing the matter and will offer further comments soon.1
