Illinois Secretary of State Orders Flock Safety to Block Federal Access to License Plate Data

SPRINGFIELD – Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias has ordered a company which operates automated licensed reader systems to shut off the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s access to license plate camera data. Giannoulias said Flock Safety violated state law by allowing the federal agency to access cameras. The revelation comes just two months after Giannoulias ordered Flock to block outside law enforcement from seeking Illinois data related to abortion and immigration.
