2 Boulder residents sue over city’s use of Flock cameras, citing widespread privacy violations

The Colorado Sun: Two Boulder residents are challenging the city’s use of 31 Flock Safety surveillance cameras, saying the technology violates Coloradans’ rights by cataloging their movements without warrants. 

A lawsuit filed in Boulder District Court on Wednesday night argues the system gives Boulder police broad access to records tracking the movements of people driving and biking through the city — a level of surveillance the plaintiffs say violates privacy and other protections guaranteed under the Colorado Constitution.

The complaint, which seeks class-action status, comes amid broader national debates over privacy, data sharing and police surveillance technology. The plaintiffs are asking the court to declare Boulder’s Flock cameras unconstitutional and block the city from continuing its surveillance without a warrant.
