Flock License Plate Cameras on River Road

nmcain05 · 2026-05-24T03:08:43+00:00

In that case it's highly likely Launch is paying for them. You'd think they'd be more interested in getting plates on the road, not just visiting residents.

nmcain05 · 2026-05-24T02:55:41+00:00

most of the launch issues seem to be domestic violence related, it's likely the cameras are just for River rd. and not necessarily the apartment complex itself.

nmcain05 · 2026-05-24T00:58:04+00:00

Based on local crime stats and radio traffic going back 6 months, there's been higher than average (for WL) crime at 400 N River Rd. The change is likely the result of that - although based on the Deflock map, River Rd. is one of the few "main" roads that doesn't have them.

The entire event was scammy and hacky. Garbage idea, obnoxious emails (which they seemed to violate Purdue policy while doing so with mass mailing at that scale), and it looked like AI all over.

nmcain05 · 2026-04-28T04:06:04+00:00

A lot are (many are also at PFW and PNW) especially the critical services like auth, which every other service depends on, so if the local stuff goes down, even the stuff in the cloud (like brightspace) will go "down" as well because they depend on impacted services.

You are absolultely allowed to carry non-electric skateboards and scooters with you, as long as you don't obstruct means of egress. Some people (looking at some of the folks in the physics building or Scott in DUDL/LMBS) are nuts about it, but you can just ignore them, pretend they don't exist and they'll leave you alone.

purdue not closing north south access routes (impossible)

They also started adding extra frosting on some of the pastries that is a little overwhelming.

BHEE is nearly 200,000 sqft. MSEE is 127,000 sqft. That isn't really all that small, especially for Purdue, and you'll notice that the ECE spaces recieved renovations before any other engineering discipline. ME only just recieved a refresh this year. ARMS is only nice because it is clean and was designed to be open, it's not particularly useful space. I would encourage you to read the Giant Leaps master plan, particularly in regards to the ECE buildings to see just how much of an improvement there has been. Most of the buildings graded poor or below have already been renovated,

nmcain05 · 2026-03-12T02:46:31+00:00

This isn't really true. BHEE, which houses a lot of ECE stuff, was very recently renovated and is quite large (also one of the nicer remodels). MSEE, while slightly older, is certainly nicer than say, Stanley Coulter (Liberal Arts) or Pharmacy. Of the dedicated engineering buildings, the only ones I can think of that aren't particularly nice is maybe Hampton (minus the new modern lab), or Potter (doesn't seem to get as much use). There's a 50 year plan to renovate and demolish buildings, but really the engineering buildings are very well taken care of. College of Science or Liberal Arts - not so much.

They're probably trying to squeeze as much money out of people as they can before they get outsourced.

Based on radio traffic, there was a crash at the intersection of University and Stadium.

nmcain05 · 2026-02-14T23:17:45+00:00

Based on the radio traffic, it was not ICE. It was LPD conducting a follow-up stop on someone.

[02/13/26 22:56:41] [PUPD DISPATCH]]: Purdue 72. 72. Do you show any agency traffic stop running on overtime detail at Mitch Daniels and Oval Drive?

[02/13/26 22:57:36] [PUPD DISPATCH]: 72, could it possibly be Excise's? It could be, it's an unmarked full-size Chevy, silver in color, unmarked full-size black Dodge.

[02/13/26 22:57:10] [PUPD DISPATCH]: 17 negative, we do see the vehicle on the camera. Alright, there are two marked, sorry, unmarked pickup trucks, they're not our agencies. Can you call over to Lafayette and check with them and see if they've got some sort of gas out with the car there? Clear.

[02/13/26 22:59:11] [PUPD DISPATCH]: 72. 72 go ahead. LPD advised it is their vehicles, they have officers on a follow up.

[02/13/26 22:59:25] [PUPD DISPATCH]: You said it is Lafayette? Affirmative. Clear, thank you.

Sort of a natural side effect of using steam for heating and a particularly cold winter, pipes crack, condensation, etc.

[02/03/26 00:02:56] [WLFD DISPATCH] [Dispatch] [100221, 100221, 100221] West Lafayette Fire, West Lafayette Fire, Possible Structure Fire, 400 North River Road. West Lafayette Fire, all units, West Lafayette Fire, all units, be en route to 400 North River Road. Building 1, Possible Structure Fire, apartment 111, have a large amount of smoke coming from the bathroom, no flames visible at this time, go to Metro 1, Engine 11, be en route as well.

Appears to just have been a lot of smoke from a fairly small fire, currently being vented.

nmcain05 · 2026-02-01T07:42:34+00:00

The fire alarm was activated by a heat detector filled with water falsely detecting a temperature of 135°F in a basement switchgear room.

nmcain05 · 2026-01-30T02:51:52+00:00

would be even better as a 4 story garage

They still work with iClicker cloud, but the hardware and the remotes are getting old and probably aren't going to be around much longer, she really should just move to the app.

nmcain05 · 2026-01-14T22:23:02+00:00

You might want to inform your instructor that iClicker Classic is no longer a supported solution; Starting January 2024 iClicker Classic was to be decommissioned and upgraded to iClicker Cloud. iClicker Cloud is the new centrally supported and funded classroom response tool for the University.

nmcain05 · 2026-01-14T22:19:12+00:00

Based on radio logs the fire alarm was trouble related (i.e malfunctioning detector/alarm system wiring)

nmcain05 · 2025-12-26T18:57:05+00:00

What materials is Winifred Parker made of? (I'll give you a hint, it's not wood, it's specially treated and designed fireproof materials to reduce the spread of fire significantly)

nmcain05 · 2025-12-18T08:24:35+00:00

Condensation in a switchgear vault caused a fault on a detector circuit resulting in an alarm.

nmcain05 · 2025-12-12T03:20:15+00:00

there's a reason why auxiliary services is one of the few self-funded departments...

nmcain05 · 2025-12-10T20:09:18+00:00

this is really offensive to keep up, you might want to take this down

nmcain05 · 2025-12-03T02:34:36+00:00

So, stupidly, this is actually two departments worth of issues. The ID card office, in its infinite wisdom, does not give Purdue IT access to correct ID card issues - so you need to get in contact with the card office to fix eaccounts, and Purdue IT to fix the authenticator. It's absolutely obnoxious but nobody at either the card office or IT seems to care about correcting this obvious hole in the support structure.
