Law enforcement has many investigatory tools, and unauthorized access is a serious crime under Ohio Revised Code. Law Enforcement professionals should be held to the same standard regarding Flock cameras. Both Attorney General Andy Wilson and candidates for Attorney General in the November election have expressed a desire for this deterrent. We also want agencies to be held accountable through mandatory audits in which humans review data on who is accessing Flock camera information, how often, and for what purpose. If an agency allows for widespread abuse, it should be reported publicly so that civilian administrators can work to protect Ohioans’ privacy. Agencies should also track and report the number of arrests made because of Flock camera data. The claim that they serve a legitimate and important purpose for law enforcement should be supported with evidence.Camera technology providers should be required to implement stringent cybersecurity measures. Those signing contracts and local elected officials should demand transparency and share with the community the steps taken to protect captured data. We recommend requirements involving cybersecurity standards, access controls, breach notification, data retention, and independent security audits. </blockquote></div></body>
