Nevertheless, restricting access to those photos and data needed to be part of the License Plate capturing systems, because there is a lot of video capture systems’ abuse valid and misinformation, out there. The Board recognized that the photos and generated vehicle data were of no use to anyone but Law Enforcement. The Board chose the Flock systems for the Client’s (TrailMark’s) ability to get the Flock Systems set up and then lock everyone, but Law Enforcement, out of the Flock Systems’ photos and data access. That means that the client can restrict all access to the Flock photos and data -including themselves, the Client. Other brand systems had allowed actual real-time surveillance by misguided parties.Ī critically important characteristic of the Flock systems is that the photos and generated License Plate data are only accessible to those to which the Client allows access. In Flock’s case, only photos, and not video, were accessible by those misguided HOA’s and security zealots, who were consequently exposed for their attempted “surveillance” practices. The Board recognized that video capture systems have been abused -in purpose and practice, by some HOA’s or security zealots, who thought that surveilling their fellow residents would be a good idea. Flock’s firm policy answer was, “Under no circumstances would a Flock system be allowed to photograph the fronts of vehicles.” Their such policy was the assurance that the Board needed to consider Flock.


The Board even asked if Flock would photograph the fronts of vehicles, if asked to do so. Flock erased all data every 30 days (Any currently investigation-specific data, could be retained bylaw Enforcement longer than 30 days. The Board was determined to make sure that no one but Law Enforcement had access to the Flock-Generated data and that no identifying images of individuals in their vehicles could be taken, as well as no information -beyond the details of the back of the vehicles be part of any data av available to Law Enforcement. Note: The Board was only interested in License Plate photo camera systems and not in real-time surveillance systems, or License Plate photo capture systems, which could be abused to be real-time surveillance systems.įlock systems were nationally networked -for vehicle identification, preferred by the Littleton Police Department, could be set up to not be abused -or appear as such, and were Flock-restricted to only capture the rear ends of vehicles and never the vehicle occupants. Potential privacy issue concerns, were examined for validity and addressed in the system’s final evaluations.

The Board’s Flock systems decision was made, after carefully and appropriately disarming the areas of vulnerabilities and risks that are natural thoughts for anyone, including the Board, when such a system is contemplated. The two Flock systems have now been installed, at the entrance and exit of our Community, and they are fully functional.īOARD'S CAREFUL DECISION FOR PRIVACY AND DETERENT VALUE The TrailMark Board of Directors is pleased to announce their unanimous vote to become a community participating in the national vehicle identification camera data network, known as "Flock".
