Flock Safety CEO Garrett Langley is no stranger to controversy, something he regularly uses to drum up press and raise the profile of his universally reviled surveillance company.
While we may be giving him exactly what he wants, his latest outburst is so insulting we just have to push back. In a new interview with Vanity Fair, Langley defended the utility of his company’s automatic license plate readers (ALPRs), AI-integrated surveillance cameras which have turned Flock into one of the most widely hated brands in the US.
When the interview went off-track into the tragic kidnapping of Nancy Guthrie, Langley chose to center his own personal interests: “we would have solved that case,” he bragged.
“One hundred percent,” Langley said. “There’s no doubt in my mind.”
