Khan and Colleagues Announce Bipartisan Legislation to Protect Pennsylvanians from Misuse of Flock and License Plate Reader Data

(Aug 10, 2026) Rep. Tarik Khan

HARRISBURG, Aug. 10 — State Reps. Tarik Khan, D-Phila.; Robert Leadbeter, R-Columbia; Jennifer O’Mara, D-Delaware; Napoleon Nelson, D-Montgomery; and Nate Davidson, D-Cumberland/Dauphin, today announced plans to introduce bipartisan legislation establishing statewide privacy and accountability protections for automated license plate reader systems, including Flock Safety cameras.License plate readers are becoming increasingly common across Pennsylvania.

Reports from around the country have documented concerns about misuse, including instances in which individuals with authorized access allegedly used the data to stalk former partners, track acquaintances, or conduct searches for personal reasons.

Ben Waxman seeks to mitigate the influence that unlimited dark money has had on elections since 2010, when the U.S. Supreme Court in its Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission decision lifted the bans preventing corporations and organizations from using their funds to run political ads or broadcast messages supporting or attacking candidates. Webster said that in 2024 alone, federal elections saw over $4 billion in outside spending, nearly 12 times more than the amount spent in 2008. He said the trend has caused the voices of ordinary voters in U.S. elections to be drowned out by corporations seeking to gain more influence in government policymaking. Balancing the scales should be a top priority. “There are a hundred or more very important, complex, difficult issues that Pennsylvania and its legislators need to work on, head-on, and one of those is the political influence of Read more
