Today we served the #UniversityOfArizona a cease & desist letter as they are in violation of the Clery Act. The University never disclosed the surveillance of students, faculty & staff through the usage of 50+ Flock Safety ALPR's.
The Clery Act mandates transparency, something the University lacks.

A study of ALPRs in Piedmont, CA, found that less than 0.3% of ALPR hits might translate into a useful investigative lead. Most license plates recorded were not on a hot list, yet police still logged information on people's movements throughout the day.

Let's call these what they are: Internment camps.

There are many documented cases where police have knowingly used #ALPRs to commit crimes and put people in danger. As history has shown, when governments or third parties gain unchecked surveillance powers, they're eventually used against people who werent doing anything wrong—

If lawmakers in D.C. don't trust Flock #ALPRs, why is the #UniversityOfArizona trusting them with your data?
