From “Business Reform”
Jason Hunyar returns to Business Reform with another round of revelations uncovered through public records requests.
In this interview, Jason discusses what he has learned about Flock Safety’s expanding data collection, including how 911 call center information can become part of the company’s ecosystem, concerns about records management system (RMS) data, alleged insurance-related searches, software updates that expand surveillance capabilities without additional public approval, and communications between Flock executives and public officials uncovered through Open Records Requests.
We also discuss artificial intelligence, the risks of automated decision-making, the lack of meaningful appeal processes when AI makes mistakes, and why surveillance infrastructure is becoming a bipartisan concern across the political spectrum.
Finally, Jason shares practical advice on how anyone can file effective Open Records Requests to better understand what is happening in their own community.
