DEFLOCK — EMORY COALITION -- $34 // KTTK #Shorts
The short version: A viral KTTK_Brands short spotlights Emory students organizing fast against campus ALPRs they say route data to ICE, proof backlash is spreading.
Our Take
Credit to KTTK_Brands for putting a number on something we hear about constantly but rarely see quantified: a thousand Emory students signing on to oppose campus license-plate readers in just three days. That's not a niche concern anymore — that's a campus community deciding, fast and loudly, that it doesn't want its daily movements logged and potentially handed off to ICE.
This fits a pattern we track closely. Flock-style readers get installed quietly for "safety," and then the question of who actually gets access to that data — campus police, local cops, federal agencies — gets answered later, if at all. Students living under these systems are rightly asking why a parking lot camera network should double as an immigration enforcement tool.
If you want to see what's already watching your own neighborhood or campus, check our camera map, and if you're ready to push back like the Emory coalition is doing, our take-action page has concrete next steps.
