The Cure - Purple Haze
One of my favorite covers. Love how they did something different. If you're going to play someone else's song note-for-note, I'd rather listen to the original.

Why why why do people want this in their communities
Police from a town of 900 in Colorado accused a woman of theft. Based on their Flock cameras they told her, "you can’t get a breath of fresh air, in or out of that place, without us knowing, correct?" and reportedly told her the exact number of times her license plate had driven through that town.
Police used Flock cameras to accuse a Denver woman of package theft. She had her own evidence
"Like I said, nothing gets in or out of the town without us knowing."
