The shooting at ODU is a tragic event for our community. We mourn the loss of life while we acknowledge the students who showed extreme bravery and courage by stopping the shooter and preventing further loss of life. The FBI is going to dig in and track down every single lead as we work alongside our partners to find answers.

We encourage the public to submit any information, no matter how small, to http://fbi.gov/ODUshooting or http://tips.fbi.gov. Screenshot of  FBI website with PAGE NOT FOUND

How serious the FBI is taking the shooting in Norfolk at ODU today.

The tip link is dead.

This is an obvious overreach & bad logic, but bigger picture: this was only possible because we lack privacy protections and every scrap of data about us is collected, packaged, and sold every single day.

She owns a home in and is paying taxes to the school district and is being denied because the school district was watching where a car was parked during the summer? Absolutely insane and kinda obviously illegal for the school district to do this.

Suburban school district uses license plate readers to verify student residency A mom says a suburban school district is erroneously denying her daughter's enrollment because of data from a license plate reader company.

This is bonkers.

“According to the school district, her daughter’s new student enrollment form was denied due to ‘license plate recognition software showing only Chicago addresses overnight’ in July and August.”
