COP on the Hill: Stories from the weeks of   Sept. 11-18   – 2026

Flock camera grover presentation:  I had a solid, interested audience at Grovers, when I made a presentation on a growing issue in USA: the use of so-called FLOCK cameras to read your plate and take a foto of your car.  I ended my informative talk by urging extreme caution and the need to have much better control over who has access and for how long.  After the meeting several made a point to thank me for the info.

 OAN (One American News): Always has a reporter at the Grover meeting…He has asked me to an in-camera interview.  I made sure he knew my sole task in DC was to make drugs a medical issue vs criminal.   As the camera rolled, we discussed the Flock cameras, privacy, Big Brother stuff.
