A Florida detective’s arrest is the latest case to show how Flock cameras can be turned from a crime-fighting tool into a weapon for personal abuse. Sumter County Sheriff Patrick Breeden says Detective Brandy Almany was fired and criminally charged after an internal audit found what officials called improper and unlawful use of agency databases, including Flock license plate readers. According to the sheriff’s office, the searches were tied to her husband’s ex-wife, not a legitimate investigation, and that is exactly the kind of conduct that turns a “public safety” tool into a private surveillance machine.
The sheriff has now suspended Flock use in the county while the agency audits its system. In plain English, that means the county is pausing the program to figure out who had access, what they searched, and whether the system was being used the way the public was told it would be used.
Don't get me wrong - I am a strong supporter of policing at every level, but this new technology has an insidious back-end that somehow just doesn't sit well with me. It's one thing to blow past a speed trap and get busted. It's a little different when the machines are watching, not people. Juss' sayin'...

Do you have gout like I do?
Black cherry concentrate does one thing, and only one thing. It eliminates Uric
Acid in your system - that's all it does. And it works better than any drug any
doctor can prescribe. If you have gout, buy a bottle and take two a day, that's all.
See for yourself if it doesn't work. Trust me - it does. Click the picture.
How's that for a testimonial to it's effectiveness?
