* YouGov survey finds huge bipartisan support for requiring police to get a warrant before searching license-plate data. * More than 40% said they were concerned about government surveillance and police misconduct, ranking them as more serious problems than illegal immigration.

The online talk about Flock has completely exploded from both parties: Rep. Clyde (R-Ga.): “Flock cameras belong in Communist China" @angieforfl.bsky.social: “I don’t want to defund the police, I want to defund Flock cameras so that bad cops don’t have the ability to stalk their ex-girlfriends"
