  1. Victory! #Flock Ends Rollout of Audio “Distress Detection” of Human #Voices

    Reversing course, #FlockSafety —the #surveillance technology vendor most known for its extensive network of automated #licensePlate readers—has announced that it will end a pilot for its acoustic #gunshot detection devicesto identify signs of “human distress.”

    In October 2025, @eff warned the public that Flock was rolling out a new feature called “#DistressDetection ” that would be deployed through their acoustic gunshot detection devices (formerly known as #FlockRaven , now called #AudioDetection ). This feature purported to use high-powered #microphones scattered throughout a city to search for sounds of human distress, with original advertisements from the product indicating it would search for “#screaming.” (Since the publication of our original blog post, Flock quietly amended the ad on this webpage to say “distress” instead of “screaming.”)
