Summary
UW-Madison police have dumped their contract with Flock Safety over mounting privacy concerns, sparking a campus-wide debate about surveillance tech. Eight license plate readers were installed, but now advocates demand community input and transparency before any future deployments. While Flock Safety insists their tech boosts public safety by catching criminals, critics argue the university must prioritize student privacy. As UW-Madison searches for alternatives, the conversation is heating up — and the stakes couldn’t be higher. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
