Episcopal Church's bishop of Europe, Mark Eddington, on JD Vance's explanation of the protests in Paris. Priceless.

Kudos to the camera man. He decided NOPE - ain’t letting him pull this shit. Not today. Not on my watch.

Merrill College students know their rights as journalists.
"Cat Murphy is a master's student at the University of Maryland, credentialed as a reporter for our Capital News Service and doing the job we teach our students to do. Cat recorded openly in a public space alongside other news outlets, and that is her legal right," Dean Rafael Lorente (@DeanLorente) said. "I'm proud of how she handled herself in a difficult situation."

A federal district judge just declared that Flock camera systems violate the Fourth Amendment! Applying Chatrie, the court concludes that extensive camera networks engage in unlawful "indiscriminate mass surveillance." A major ruling. storage.courtlistener.com/re…

It violated the 4th Amendment, and there's no qualified immunity, when child welfare workers entered the home to make a child safety check based on an anonymous report that a parent was upset and agitated at school dropoff that morning.

Something to watch: officials in Baltimore are laying the groundwork for a robust alternative response system that will dispatch non-police personnel to crisis calls.

An unusual moment in policing is taking shape: police unions, civil rights groups, conservative politicians and grassroots activists find themselves in an unlikely alliance calling for rapidly expanding surveillance tech to be reined in.
A “tipping point,” says @ProfFerguson.
Resistance to Flock has made its way to the DMV. In Washington, the head of the city police union said MPD used the cameras to investigate sworn officers. And officials in Alexandria signaled this week they don’t want Flock in their city.
