Dumbassery Calls to banish Flock license plate cameras are 'crap,' San Joaquin County sheriff says
So this is what an elected official in law enforcement thinks of his constituency's concerns. Even though there is clear evidence of abuse of this system by law enforcement officers, and evidence of mistaken identity leading to false arrests, these concerns are "crap" according to our sheriff. Well since cameras are such a good law enforsement tool (in his words), let's put one in your office. And then every jail cell and nook and cranny of San Joaquin County Jail to avoid civil payouts for Sheriff deputies violent behavior. Then every County Board of Supervisors office and the County DA's offices. Then the County Evidence room that has come under scrutiny in the recent past for missing inventory. How about a camera there? Well I suppose you will just dismiss these concerns as well. So Sheriff, be sure to collect your Flock campaign contribution.
