Kash Patel Defends FBI's Use Of Flock Cameras In Senate Hearing

Kash Patel Defends FBI's Use Of Flock Cameras In Senate Hearing

The FBI director stood alone as the sole witness at the Judiciary Committee's September 15 oversight hearing, fielding questions on license-plate surveillance.

  • The Senate Judiciary Committee held its FBI oversight hearing on September 15, 2026, with Director Kash Patel as its only witness.
  • "FBI Director Kash Patel Testifies on Bureau Oversight to Senate Judiciary Committee"
  • Patel defended the bureau's use of Flock Safety license-plate cameras under senators' questioning.

Why it matters: Flock Safety's camera network is a private company's product, and the FBI director became its most credible witness.
