Flock's "Vehicle FINGERPRINT" is a UNIQUE IDENTIFIER. Paired with the license plate, this technology makes the data collected by automated license plate readers CONFIDENTIAL, according to FL Statute 316.0777.
This AI technology can recognize and track the same vehicle even without a license plate. That's a "unique identifier" even if it doesn't include a name.
Cybersecurity professional and Lynn Haven Commissioner SAM PEEBLES is trained on how this ties to confidential records. He has a legal duty to protect confidential records. He is willfully violating the law and his government credentials.
So is government contractor and Commissioner Jamie Warrick.
Just five months ago, on Dec. 30, Flock representative Kerry McCormack told the City Commission the following:
"As Deputy Chief Enfinger can tell you, um, sometimes when folks commit a crime, they will swap a plate. They take the plate off, uh, different things like that. So, that way the photo of the back of the vehicle CAN TELL YOU what's the make of the vehicle, body type, color, does it have a roof rack?"
Flock's "Vehicle Fingerprint" captures bumper stickers, dents, tool boxes, etc. in addition to license plate numbers. Then the data is downloaded, catalogued, stored, tracked, and shared with more than 1,500 agencies across the country.
All of it is searchable. This is one reason the Flock representative called it "precision police technology."
He explained how these UNIQUE IDENTIFIERS are stored as searchable fields, or used to trigger alerts.
π It creates a structured identification record of everyone, not just "criminals." π
City officials are making a bad-faith argument that FL. Statute 316.077 doesn't mean what it says.
In fairness, all 412 cities and 67 counties in Florida are doing this.
But right now I'm naming the lawbreakers in Lynn Haven who are masquerading as public servants.
