“Judge Elizabeth Neidzwski ruled that “the Flock images generated by the Flock cameras located in Stanwood and Sedro-Wooley [Washington] are public records under the Washington State Public Records Act,” that they are “not exempt from disclosure,”
NEW: A judge in Washington has ruled that police images taken by Flock’s AI license plate-scanning cameras are public records that can be requested as part of normal public records requests.

The decision highlights the sheer volume of the technology-fueled surveillance state in the US.

Sat pic of a massacre in Al-Fashir/El-Fasher taking place the last few days when RSF took control of the Darfurian city. An estimated 270,000 civilians are trapped. Estimates of those murdered since the city fell range from 2000 to 3500, perhaps higher.

SBS News (AU) calls it Rwanda-level.

We’re back where we were in February - despite all the painstaking diplomacy by Zelensky and European leaders. In the end, Trump always gravitates back to Putin’s nihilistic views on Ukraine.

Thinking about how Cal Raleigh—a quiet guy!—said two years ago ownership had to get serious. And how everyone wanted them to get Suarez, but we all thought they’d wouldn’t actually do it. And then they did.

And tonight he did that.
