The University of Arizona’s deployment of Flock Safety’s automated license plate readers (ALPRs) has ignited opposition from students and faculty. Critics, organized as Deflock Tucson, argue the surveillance system was implemented without transparency, potentially violating the Clery Act, which mandates disclosure of campus security policies. The core conflict centers on data privacy and the risk of misuse, particularly after a 404 Media report and subsequent company admission that Flock ran pilot programs sharing data with federal agencies like CBP and HSI. While the university police department claims the cameras enhance security with strict data controls, faculty and students remain unconvinced, fearing that opaque data-sharing agreements could expose community members to undue surveillance and federal scrutiny. The controversy reflects a national backlash against the private surveillance company, with several cities already pausing their contracts.
