South Carolina AG Alan Wilson sends letter to Flock Safety questioning AI and data privacy practices

First reported: October 6, 2026 · 22 sources

South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson sent a letter to Flock Safety on Monday raising questions about the license plate reader company's privacy and security policies, including its use of artificial intelligence. The letter is an inquiry rather than a formal enforcement action, and the article does not detail Flock's response or any findings. Specific questions posed in the letter and any deadline for a reply were not described in the available reporting.

Why this matters

State attorneys general have broad consumer protection authority, and inquiries into how ALPR vendors handle data and AI can shape disclosure and retention practices well beyond a single state.
