- Law enforcement can now install cameras on NC highways, all other state roads
- Runtime

- Date posted
- 27 days ago
- Description
- North Carolina law enforcement agencies are now authorized to place cameras alongside state-maintained roads to track who is driving and where, due to a provision tucked into the new state budget that essentially enables a permanent, statewide surveillance program. Automatic license plate readers, or ALPRs, record the license plates of every vehicle driving by as well as the make, model and color of their vehicles. Then, using artificial intelligence, they cross-reference that information with various law enforcement databases. Hits might come back for stolen cars, criminal suspects, missing people or other reasons.
WRAL state government reporter Will Doran and Louis Fernandez talk through what we know.

- NC expands where law enforcement can track you
- Runtime
- 4:23
- Date posted
- 29 days ago
- Description
- In North Carolina, a new program has made the installation of license plate reading cameras on highways permanent, sparking concerns about mass surveillance among community members and civil rights groups like the ACLU. The cameras, which capture data such as license plate numbers, vehicle make, model, and color, aim to assist law enforcement in locating stolen vehicles and missing persons. While supporters highlight successful arrests aided by this technology, critics point to privacy issues and potential misuse. For example, a misidentification led to an innocent woman's wrongful arrest, resulting in a $60,000 settlement for the city.
The debate around the program has revealed mixed reactions. Law enforcement claims the cameras are invaluable, citing instances where they helped recover over 330 cars in Los Angeles. However, fears about data management, misuse, and lack of appropriate regulations loom large. In North Carolina, the law that passed contains no stringent saf...

- Description
- The air quality in southern Virginia has been impacted by wildfire smoke originating from Canadian fires, leading to code orange air quality alerts across northern counties. Camera footage from Lake Gaston has revealed a noticeable haze attributed to the smoke. Officials have noted that the hazardous conditions, stemming from a combination of wildfire smoke and ground-level ozone, are particularly prevalent in areas stretching from Wake County to northern Virginia. However, forecasts indicate an improvement in air quality over the weekend. This is expected as a southwest wind, associated with an upcoming cold front, is projected to disperse the wildfire smoke, alleviating current concerns and clearing the skies.

- A section of Glenwood Avenue in Raleigh is closed until tomorrow afternoon after a large tree fell across the road, damaging power lines and poles. The incident occurred around 1:30 PM and is believed to be related to recent extreme heat and drought conditions. Duke Energy reported that power restoration for approximately 600 customers has been delayed until 1 AM tomorrow. No injuries were reported, which is seen as a fortunate outcome given the circumstances. Traffic monitoring has shown minimal backups as drivers are advised to use alternate routes, such as Wade Avenue or Six Forks Road, to navigate around the closure. The local authorities continue to manage the situation and provide updates.

- Description
- North Carolina's health department has reported an increase in cyclosporiasis cases, primarily associated with parsley, cilantro, and lettuce, but found no link to a separate outbreak involving Taco Bell in other states. Recently, cases in Wake County surged nearly 15%, with reported illnesses rising from 236 to 270 individuals. Five people are currently hospitalized due to the outbreak. Federal investigators suspect shredded iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms may be the source of the contamination primarily affecting Taco Bell in states like Indiana and Ohio. However, North Carolina health officials have not connected the state's cases to Taco Bell's outbreak.
Symptoms of infection include diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea, mild fever, and chills, typically appearing about a week post-exposure.

- Description
- It could soon be easier for North Carolina elections officials to throw out people’s ballots during the 2026 midterm elections and beyond, under new rules approved Thursday by the State Board of Elections.
The new changes, backed by the Republican majority on the State Board of Elections and opposed by the board's Democratic minority, make it easier for elections officials to reject people’s excuses for not having required voter identification. They'd also make it easier to kick people out of polling places, in addition to other changes.

Additionally, polling place workers are now given more authority to eject voters deemed too disruptive. Furthermore, regulations that could lead to the rejection of mail-in ballots based on minor technicalities, such as using incorrect envelopes, are being discussed. These measures, supported mainly along party lines, raise concerns among Democrats about national trends promoting unfounded allegations of voter fraud. Opponents argue that these new regulations may undermine trust in election processes in the state as the 2026 elections approach. The changes have been largely viewed as a respon...
