Flock CEO Garret Langley thought he could assuage guilt about creating a massive private surveillance apparatus by using "transparency". He earned that secrecy is the way to keep cops happy -- just like its siblings Motorola/Vigilant, Axon/Fusus, Genetec who build these ALPR networks in the shadows.
Scoop: Police have recently been ordered to be "as vague as permissible" in the Flock system about the searches they do in a message shared with several major police departments around the country by the FBI. Actively avoiding transparency is now the strategy:

Police Told to Be ‘as Vague as Permissible’ About Why They Use Flock
The documents show law enforcement sees themselves as being consistently and universally under threat from the people it is supposed to protect.

Walz signed an executive order implementing weapons screening at the Minnesota Capitol, a major security step taken in response to attacks on state lawmakers last summer.

Needless to say that Renee Good and Alex Pretti will go down as heroes here in Minnesota and nationally, their names synonymous with sacrifice and caring for vulnerable neighbors even at the risk of your own life. And hopefully no more innocent lives are lost.

Walz pulls a Kanye, for some reason. And I can't even evaluate how much bootlicking Tim does here because this vitally important communication from the governor IS PAYWALLED.
I spoke to the President earlier. We had a productive conversation and I explained to him that his staff doesn’t have their facts straight about Minnesota. My thoughts in the Wall Street Journal:

Federal officials are lying. My state’s Corrections Department honors all immigration detainers.

We need an EVICTION MORATORIUM NOW.
Our neighbors risk being separated from their families when they go to work. They also run the risk of being displaced if they don’t.
Sadly, Mayor Frey refused to sign the resolution calling on the Governor to enact this moratorium.

Ope!
"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know.
This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.
