Take the most uneducated, Dukes of Hazard level cops and give them cutting edge tracking tools designed to track revolutionaries in the global south/east.

An internal audit revealed Eder used police databases to monitor the victim over a five-month span.
Eder turned himself into the Potter County Jail and was released on a single, $4,500 bond for all 78 charges combined.
$4500 for 78 charges?? People get higher bail for selling weed.
replies:
Though APD fired Eder on July 17, prosecutors officially refused to move forward with felony stalking charges in the case.
Prosecutors are part of the problem

Typical, they are looking out for their own.
Because of that legal classification, the victim said the county attorney’s office initially told him it would be difficult for him to access standard victim advocacy services.
WTF??
off-duty access of active body cameras was not an unusual practice within the department.
Why the hell not?
It's coming. The first case where somebody kills a cop in self defense.
replies:
Shocking but not unexpected :( I hope he's able to find justice.
replies:
Flock is not going to be meaningfully regulated until a cop deletes a whole family in a public way.
I would not be surprised if a cop had already done so privately and it's just been covered up.
As someone that's been stalked twice before the flock cameras are terrifying. I've always been taught to keep my head down and avoid attracting attention but it just seems inevitable these days that someone is going to do this.
They taught us police,
Supposed to serve and protect,
They abuse and kill
Flock should be pushing for new regs here and for this guy to be prosecuted. It would make everyone more comfortable with the cameras.
replies:
- spend a week doing suspicious shit
- find a location that has no cameras
- lure psycho to location
- do it

I'm always so amazed to read these stories and then see absolutely zero response from Americans
This single story alone should cause people to protest in the streets until at least the prosecutors are fired for corruption and this guy jailed
Yet, crockets, this is just another day in another town in the USA
replies:
76 charges and 4500 bail.
