Gibbs Mura filed an amended class action complaint on April 3, 2026 alleging that Flock Safety used automated license plate reader cameras across more than 200 California municipalities to track millions of residents and illegally shared the data with CBP, ICE, and DEA, in violation of California Civil Code Section 1798.90.55(b), according to the complaint. Federal agencies accessed San Francisco Police Department camera data more than 1.6 million times, and Los Altos readers shared information to out-of-state agencies more than a million times, the complaint states.
Operator takeaway
If your company uses ALPR-based skip-tracing services for repossession work, the legal ground under that data pipeline is shifting — California's AG has already sued one city over Flock data sharing, and the class action seeks minimum damages of $2,500 per violation.
