The Fort Worth suburb of White Settlement plans to expand a video surveillance program.
"These flock cameras, we’re averaging about 15 to 20 alerts a day," said White Settlement Police Chief Christopher Cook. "We’ve caught a murder suspect out of Fort Worth. We’ve caught aggravated assault warrants with firearms that are first-degree felonies, up to life in prison. We’ve recovered about 24 stolen vehicles in the last four months," Cook said.
Police say two officers were alerted to a stolen vehicle. When they tried to make a traffic stop, the suspect ran off. After one officer ran out of steam during the long foot chase, a good Samaritan stepped in with an assist. "Need a ride?"
Sounds a lot like a police state — give up your rights for the sake of security. Starts off great but ends with abuse and oppression. I wonder if challenged in court, if it’ll survive scrutiny
