Duke Police are considering installing Flock Safety ALPRs around campus and in parking garages within the next year.
Duke has already been using conventional license plate readers around campus for a long time, but they are becoming interested in specifically "AI powered" license plate readers.
Flock Safety, already contracted by Durham PD, is used by federal agencies such as ICE. They will tell you the cameras only record back to the police department, but all over the country we are finding out that feds are accessing these all over.
These cameras don't only track license plates. They are also capable of facial recognition and more. Not sure what we can do about this just yet, but I felt like people should be made aware.
