It is reported that the registration plates reading company builds a copper monitoring tool using hacked data

A controversial company that sells readers to registration plates has developed a new observation tool that collects different data sets and connects them to the driver’s vehicle information. The tool, which is sold to COPS, even uses information collected from data violations and hacked data, a new report said.

404 media reported The Naid Invasive Car Tracking Technology has previously was the subject of a court case– is in the last stages of developing an instrument called “Nova”. To his websiteFlod says Nova can connect “people, vehicles and places” and helps “allow crime and prevent the next faster.” Flock also promises that NOVA will combine “data together under a simple, predictable platform”. According to 404, NOVA allows law enforcement authorities to quickly collect information about driver from various sources, including public records, “commercial available data” from data brokers and databases for law enforcement. It also uses information from data disorders.

A company’s audio meeting reveals that such violations include a hacked parking application, Parkmobile, 404 writes. Access to data from violations such as this allows the number of registration plates to be tied to other data that is shared with the application, including contact information such as telephone numbers and email addresses, and sometimes mail addresses.

Gizmodo turned to a flock for more information. In a statement shared with 404 media, the company described NOVA as a “public safety data platform that helps researchers analyze and connect data to which they already have access to, cutting insights to detect leading and closing cases more quickly.” He also stated that the software that powers the tool is “completely adaptive” and that “customers choose what data data they want in a new one.” In other words, Flock puts the responsibility of its customers to use their tool responsibly.

Flock also suggested that all data centralized by its software package are now available to the cops through other means. “While officers can have access to such information through other means, its centralization within a new one adds a decisive layer of transparency and accountability, so our democratically elected governing bodies can ensure that it is used in accordance with the law,” the statement is added.

While Flock publicly expressed confidence in its new product, reporting 404 shows that the company’s own employees are nervous and conflicting about the use of stolen data from a new one. Referring to internal messages about the weak, 404 quoted an employee who apparently said the following: “I was quite terrible to hear that we are using stolen data in our system. In addition to achieving illegally, it seems that it can create truly perverted incentives to leak and steal more data,” they wrote. “What if the data is stolen from a herd? Should this become standard data in the system of all others?”

Flock registration plates reading technology has caused a constant concern for confidentiality and civic freedoms, advocates, who are worried about this Such tools can be used by Dracons and authoritarian regimes for mass monitoring. However, Flock shows no signs of delay in the continuously growing portfolio of law enforcement technologies. The company recently declared Expanding drone technology, with the acquisition of Aerodome, which he described as remote software for remote piloting the “first answer” that can be used in emergencies.
