## Resource

The University of Memphis is deploying fifteen Flock AI-powered license plate readers across campus, costing $37,500 annually—raising eyebrows over privacy, necessity, and cost. While Flock touts success in recovering stolen cars and locating missing persons, critics warn of mass surveillance and misuse by law enforcement. Students question why the university needs this tech when existing security measures suffice, while officials insist data access is restricted to supervisors only after incidents. The police use the cameras for traffic stops and arrests—but exact usage stats remain undisclosed. As these scanners monitor every vehicle at key intersections, the campus safety debate intensifies: how much security is too much, and who’s really benefiting?
