- On Wednesday, Senate Judiciary subcommittee chair Josh Hawley convened a hearing on AI-powered surveillance networks after the CEOs of Flock Safety, Axon Enterprise, Motorola Solutions, and Verkada declined invitations to testify.
- Senators raised bipartisan concerns about Flock's nationwide network of more than 120,000 cameras that scan millions of vehicle movements daily without warrants, prompting Hawley to examine what he called an expanding surveillance network.

- House members have introduced at least four bills targeting surveillance technology as privacy-security debates continue. Flock said it supports 'clear, sensible legislation,' though critics argue existing safeguards fail to prevent systemic misuse.
