A Commonwealth Times story is illustrated on an inside jump with a mashup of two photos: the VCU BOV and a picture of an arrest by state police. There is no caption.

Well this is about as awkward as it gets. The Red Sox just took the lead on a balk because the ball rolled out of pitcher Jakob Junis' glove.

Saw TMBG at Starr Hill Music Hall (RIP) and the opener, Corn Mo, was playing records of duck sounds. No one thought he was actually opening the show and just talked over him. Later, someone gave John F a twenty. Great chaos for a first on-my-own show.

Goochland sheriff’s office ending Flock use:
GOOCHLAND SHERIFF STEVEN CREASEY ON FLOCK CAMERA SUSPENSION
"As the Sheriff of Goochland County, I have carefully considered community input, the public-safety benefits of Flock Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) cameras, privacy concerns, and the evolving legal landscape surrounding this technology.
At this time, I have decided to suspend the Goochland County Sheriff's Office's use of Flock ALPR cameras. This decision is not the result of any identified misuse of the system.
ALPR technology is a valuable investigative tool that helps law enforcement locate stolen vehicles, missing or endangered persons, wanted individuals, and vehicles connected to criminal activity.
But I also recognize residents concerns about privacy, data access, and the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens. Both public safety and individual liberties are important, and neither should be discounted.
My office will continue to monitor legal, technological, and policy developments related to ALPR systems.
We appreciate the residents who shared their views respectfully and thoughtfully."
Steven Creasey
Goochland County Sheriff
