At least his side of the story has a happy ending.
The rest of the story is bonkers, though. The headline could not possibly do it justice. This is one you need to sit down and read with a cup of tea.

Yep. This wasn't systemic abuse, it was one guy. But it illustrates the possibilities.

Sounds like a great lawsuit. Also a great way for Flock to lose their contracts with large blue cities in Texas (and elsewhere).

They're being dropped left and right in Illinois. Even before this.

This should get them shut down as a company.

We need an anti-flock campaign. A city government didn't give them permission to put their cameras up and when they did it anyway, the city covered them in garbage bags before they could get removed.

This would only lead to the emergence of another Flock, with the same problems.
What you should really do is abolish that stupid and retrograde law.

She had hidden the fetus in her uterus.
Caught conniving crook red handed.

Like pleading with Hector not to fight Achilles, Cassandra has been warning about ALPRs for over a decade now, possibly two, that they were too intimate a search to allow law enforcement to use them without narrowly-defined warrants.
As with the Greek wooden horse Cassandra shouted was going to burn Troy to the ground, only too late we are seeing how such power can be used.
No one listens to Cassandra.

It's more like ejecting a trespasser.
Imagine if a person broke into your home and you kicked them out, then they died of pneumonia. Their family sues you for killing them. But you didn't kill them, you just kicked them out.
The person at fault is the person who committed the trespass.
She wouldn't have to abort if the dick-haver kept it in his pants, would she?
