Field notes
The public-records collection includes invoices, a use policy and audit exports, and the page links to North Carolina’s ALPR law. Its explanation distinguishes search options described in the county purchase documents—including vehicle color, bumper stickers, roof racks and covered plates—from claims about local deployment. The site also notes that a Flock patent describes facial-recognition searches, while explicitly saying that the patent does not establish such use in Surry County.
