What this means

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer announced on October 4, 2026, that he had sent Flock Safety CEO Garrett Langley a letter seeking information about the company's license-plate camera network, its National Lookup Tool, reported security incidents and any federal access to camera data. Schumer asked the company to delete personal data not connected to a crime and respond by October 16; the release presents his concerns and allegations about privacy, cybersecurity and misuse, not findings by a court or regulator.
