Hi, I'm Ashley. I build software at Flock. You've [music] probably heard of license plate readers and thought surveillance. I understand [music] why it feels that way, but that's not what we built. License plate readers take images [music] of vehicles. Flock LPR is used after a crime happens. Things like stolen [music] cars, hit and runs, a missing person. An officer [music] can search for a specific vehicle tied to that case. The LPR system doesn't track people and it [music] doesn't predict when crime will happen. You can only search for vehicles on our LPR cameras, [music] license plates, make, model, color, and other unique identifiers like [music] bike racks, trailers, and toolboxes. There's no facial recognition and no [music] ability to track a person. In most communities, the data automatically deletes after [music] 30 days unless local laws require something different. The data collected doesn't live forever. Block is built [music] to help solve crimes faster and protect people's privacy.
