Most criminals are dumb, some of them not only carry their phones with them, they even post their crimes on social media. With that and Flock I would think police work has never been easier.

#6A core issue as I see it is that the police has too much money. Why are people willingly paying so much in taxes? Why don't people move to lower tax cities and counties? Granted, fines also contribute to their income.

Cops are lazy and dumb as well. They use flock to find people in the area and accuse them of crimes they didn't commit.

Another story in the same publication is about one of their writers being arrested because of Flock cameras (falsely IDing their test-drive car).
