The article in the Republic concerning the shooting death of Tucson police recruit Carlos Ramirez (and the wounding of his fiancée) features three photos of the vehicle used by the perps. Did these images come from Flock cameras? Will additional Flock cameras be critical in locating the perps so they can be brought to justice? If so, will public opinion be swayed?
A couple of police officers have been caught using Flock images to track girlfriends or other individuals they're interested in (for which they face discipline) and no one relishes the thought of a pervasive surveillance state like China's Skynet, but we should be reluctant to throw the baby out with the bathwater. These cameras help a great deal in solving crimes which is something
law-abiding citizens should have a great interest in. I know I do.

Drones threaten peaceful neighborhoods
Your article in the Saturday, Aug. 22 paper about Amazon drone deliveries expanding to 500 locales is infuriating to me! I am totally baffled that most people have no problem with the possibility that eventually we will have hundreds of drones flying around delivering food and packages.
Imagine lounging by your pool trying to relax, but drones keep flying by your property!
Imagine opening your windows to let in cool fresh air but all you hear are drones passing in all directions to make deliveries! And what happens when they start crashing into each other? The danger is real!And it's not just Amazon planning these deliveries. Other companies are planning to do the same.Why does anyone think this is a good idea?
