Residents of San Diego are up in arms about Flock cameras. But for those seeking to keep tabs on “rebel scum,” the omnipotent surveillance ++technology++ has its uses.
That’s according to one Darth Vader, who took the podium during the public comment period at a Public Safety and Livable Neighborhoods Committee Meeting in the California city on Wednesday night to sing, or more accurately, bellow his praises for the company, whose automatic license-plate reading (ALPR) cameras are fast being installed around the nation.

They probably have a db of all the nerds with full pro Darth Vader outfits. I can't imagine it's more than a few thousand people in the US

This kind of thing is great for politics, we need more of it.
This guy could use some coaching to help him practice, he did great though.
The Imperial Death March should have played as he walked away for instance, by someone else nearby even if outside the courtroom.
