North Dakota legislator proposes new bill to regulate Flock cameras – KFYR

FARGO, N.D. (KFYR) – A North Dakota lawmaker is proposing new rules for Flock cameras, aiming to balance public safety and privacy. State Senator Jamie Selzler of Fargo says the cameras that read license plates help law enforcement locate vehicles and solve crimes. However, he adds the technology also has the potential for misuse. His proposal would limit who can search the data and require searches to be connected to an investigation, with exceptions for emergencies. “My legislation essentially finds a middle path, allows law enforcement to continue using the cameras, while also respecting the privacy rights that people have,” said Selzler. Selzler says the proposal would also limit data storage to 14 days, unless the information is part of an active investigation. He plans to introduce the bill in the 2027 legislative session.
