Hawley Calls Flock, Axon, Motorola CEOs to Senate Hearing on Surveillance

Hawley is expanding a privacy probe after reports said at least 50 officers misused Flock’s camera data, according to The Washington Post.

  • On Friday, Senator Josh Hawley invited CEOs from Flock Safety, Axon Enterprise, Motorola Solutions, and Verkada to testify on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, regarding mass surveillance systems.
  • The investigation follows widespread reports of police misusing surveillance technology to stalk women and conduct unauthorized tracking. Senator Ron Wyden demanded answers regarding privacy protections.
  • Hawley noted that AI-powered cameras capture 20 billion snapshots of cars monthly across a network of more than 120,000 devices. At least 50 law enforcement officers have been charged for illegal use.
  • Verkada CEO Filip Kaliszan will not attend, though his company is providing information to the subcommittee. It remains unclear if other invited CEOs, including Flock CEO Garrett Langley, will appear.
  • Congress must draft legislation to protect Americans' privacy, Hawley emphasized, arguing that safeguards should not depend on corporate policies but rather on rules enduring beyond current executive tenures.
