A usage policy for Flock license plate reader cameras tells police not to talk about the cameras:

When cops use Flock to arrest someone in Wapello County, Iowa, they don’t want them to know. A usage policy for the automated license plate reader cameras in the county tells police, in no uncertain terms, to keep them a secret: “DO NOT MENTION ALPR USAGE TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE,” the policy document reads. “DO NOT MENTION ALPR USAGE IN YOUR REPORT OR COMPLAINT UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.”

This reminds me of IMSI-catchers (Stingray was the most popular) a couple of decades ago. Police would go to even more extremes to hide their usage...

“President Donald Trump’s latest step away from military escalation in Iran comes as the U.S. side sees talks between Iran and Oman — which had appeared to be a rare fruitful negotiation path — as having stalled in recent days,” Semafor reports.

“For years, the U.S. and South Korea militaries have participated in one of the largest military exercises in the world, with thousands of troops from both countries preparing for possible North Korea aggression,” the New York Times reports. “On President Trump’s orders, the Pentagon curtailed this year’s exercises and scaled back some live-fire components of […]

“President Donald Trump’s shifting statements on Iran have made it difficult for even allies to know the real plan for the war — let alone defend it to the American people,” NOTUS reports. “Two House members told NOTUS that they weren’t given talking points on the current status of the war by the White House […]

Karen Tumulty: “For more than a decade, the Democratic Party has defined itself by its opposition to Donald Trump and everything for which he stands.” ”Midterm elections almost always are referendums on the president and the party in power. But this year’s election season is providing mounting evidence that although Democratic animosity toward Trump is […]

For the past 18 months, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has remade the top ranks of the U.S. military — dismissing or sidelining many whose rise he believes was aided by D.E.I. and replacing them with officers who fit his definition of merit. In the process, many argue he’s p...

Tic tac toe with a 3 x 3 board is trivial and not much fun. Tic tac toe tic tac (5 in a row) with a 15 x 15 board is endlessly fascinating. Simple doesn’t mean dumb. When we add layers and community and options, it can generate all sorts of possibilities. Connection is always […]

Donald Trump’s approval rating just hit an abysmal low of 33-64 in Reuters polling. That’s only one survey, but Trump also just hit a new low of 37-59 in New York Times polling averages, which suggests he’s likely in the mid-30s and may be trending t...
