Flocks and Automated license plate readers (ALPRs) have been in the news a lot lately in WNY but many don’t realize exactly what or where they are.
Don’t have time to sit down and learn more? No problem! We’ve got you! And we’ll make it fun!
Get some friends and register for your checklist by October 30. Teams welcome!
Once you get your checklist, use use publicly available resources to solve riddles and take pictures of Flock/ALPRs in and around the towns of Lancaster and Cheektowaga. The goal is find as many answers as you can.
Answers are due by 6:30 on November 2. You can submit at any time.
We’ll gather together at the final location on the checklist at 6:30 on November 2 for a group photo, the final answer, and prizes including fastest team, most creative team, and more! There will also be a special event for Lancaster residents.
The fun won’t end on November 2nd, though! On November 3 (or after October 24) you can vote for the candidates with a plan for dealing with over-surveillance in our communities! Ryan Taughrin for Assembly, Sara Marmion for Erie County Legislature, and Rachel Martinez for Cheektowaga Town Council
