Wait, it's even easier! The bonuses won't be paid until after Trump is gone. So all the Dem candidates have to say is "hey, recruits who are hoping to skate by on faulty HR processes: I'll make sure you're fired before you see a dime."

I just found out last night that the $50k enrollment bonus only pays out after 5 years of service, and reader, the laugh I let out when I read that woke the dog from across the house. These absolute fucking grapes aren't seeing a dime of that money. No way they can ride out 5 years of this job.

![Mr. Langley,
Thank you for the information regarding the security of the Flock ALPR systems. Knowing that they are all compliant with the FBI's stringent CJIS standards is helpful. We also appreciate your willingness to amend 5.3 of our existing contract to read that regarding the [Disclosure of Footage] Subject to and during the Retention Period, Flock may access, use, preserve and/or disclose the Footage pursuant to Virginia Code Section 2.2-5517.
As far as your assertion that we are currently under attack, I do not believe that this is so. I have dedicated the last 41 years of my life to serving the citizens of the City of Staunton as a police officer, the last 22 as the police chief. What we are seeing here is a group of local citizens who are raising concerns that we could be potentially surveilling private citizens, residents and visitors and using the data for 1
nefarious purposes These citizens have been exercising their rights to receive answers from me, my staff, and city officials, to include our elected leaders. In short, it is democracy in action.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cjfcz3t36f6nrprarkhkycxo/bafkreiaeb52vlxppdgmgghz5syrexgnmyfkucpwot3ke32ylsznovypruy@jpeg)

This is happening because Flock's data export system has relied on each and every one of its police customers to properly redact files. If even ONE of those customers messes up the redactions, they end up revealing targets for entire networks. This has inevitably happened multiple times now
