What Flock data is private?

In Massachusetts, law enforcement agencies do not release images or data that Flock captures. This could change in the future, as other states interpret the law differently. Washington state interprets all Flock data as subject to public records requests.

Police in other states have been releasing Flock images on a case-by-case basis.
