Home Depot faces a class-action lawsuit in California over alleged covert surveillance in its parking lots. The complaint targets the company's use of AI-powered cameras manufactured by Flock Safety.
These systems record license plates, vehicle features, and location data. The lawsuit alleges Home Depot shares this information with a nationwide law enforcement database.
The legal challenge claims these practices violate California privacy laws regarding security camera data. This case creates significant regulatory and reputational risks for the retailer. The outcome may force revisions to the company's AI governance and digital risk management strategies.
