U.S. Rep. Tim Burchett introduced the Protection Against Mass Surveillance Act to prohibit federal funding for surveillance systems like Flock cameras that track people via license plates, facial recognition, or biometric data. The bill requires federal agencies to delete collected data within 30 days and bans its use in legal proceedings. It was referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
