Trump would get scorched by “principled conservatives” over this, the same ones who will likely praise RD for the exact same.


I'm a Florida resident. Our local police have already done the same thing.

I actually did not. I asked you who has spoken out against this move.

I did not ask you which criticisms were leveled, counselor.

Well part of their job is to evolve with the times and utilize technology that enables them to do their job even more effectively. Are there bad apples who exploit their jobs/positions, as well as the “tools of the trade” available to them for nefarious and corrupt purposes? Of course. That’s the case in far more careers than just law enforcement. And of course that’s in no way to justify or defend any such thing.

So there you have it.

I doubt flock cameras would stop a drug pipeline cause they would find out where the cameras are and pick a different route. Florida might be keeping the mules on the main roads.

Wonder how much tax money has been wasted purchasing them, installing them, and now uninstalling them...

One of the benefits is catching people in lies about where they have been.

For instance, an Arkansas state trooper stopped a vehicle. They are trained in interdiction. His questions led to disjointed answers and his bullshite meter went off.

He got LPR info on the plate and it did not match the story told by the subject. He used that to do an open air sniff with his K9 partner after the subject declined a request to search the vehicle.

It ended up being a drug runner with a bag full of meth.

That’s just one example of how they aid in law enforcement.

Did he have enough PC to do the sniff without the LPR? Probably. But the LPR info left no doubt.

Might be the worst argument I’ve heard for allowing them. Congrats

That isn’t an argument, fella. That’s simple common sense. I guess that complete absence of knowledge or understanding of policing and law enforcement wasn’t gonna stop you from sharing a sizzling take on the topic, huh?

solve a shite ton of crime in the last few years. Great for catching drive-by shooters and carjackers.

Prove it. Criminals in Houston have just been stealing plates from people with like make/models and using them before they commit crimes. Million dollar theft rings for smart taillights out of Fords, GMC/Chevys that get jacked out of driveways covered by cameras in the entire neighborhood, no suspects. But some old black lady in Richmond, TX, woke up to missing at least one plate on her Buick.

the sooner conservatives figure out that the police deserve almost as much hate as they get from liberals the better. Hopefully this flock bullshite will wake up a few more conservatives to the fact that the police are not your fricking friends!

The problem the police have is the same problem every government agency has. A complete fricking blindness to the difference between can and should. I can promise you that every totalitarian regime in the history of the world has been more effective at catching criminals than more free societies. Surveillance states are amazingly effective. And that's the problem the police have. A complete fricking inability to recognize that there's a good reason why decent countries have avoided it. You delude yourself with the bad apples argument. It's not bad apples it's completely fricking predictable

I really appreciate what the governors, all with POTUS ambitions, are doing for their state citizens.

Anybody who thinks think that Flock cameras haven't helped crack a bunch of cases has zero basic understanding of low enforcement works and should probably sit this one out.

The company should’ve used a name that wasn’t reminiscent of a Hitchcock movie.
