>“If we eliminate automated license plate readers, we’re going to eliminate the best tool in the tool belt of Ohio law enforcement. And that’ll mean lower percentages of crime solved, including violent crimes,” said Jay McDonald, the President of the Fraternal Order of Police of Ohio.

the best tool to watch your every move whether you commit crimes or not.

this is too much power in the hands of tax paid government employees.

police officer ex-wives and ex-girlfriends can now rest easy in Florida whoo-hooo!

also, now your data can't be sold! thank you Governor!!

we pay for flock cameras with our tax dollars. it's only right that we have access to that data too since it involves our government spending our money for city services.

we can view it through something like a blockchain where tax payers can view data available to everyone so its fair and transparent.

if they don't like that, take the damn cameras down.

we have our right to privacy and should be free of government overreach. flock cameras are 'big brothers' way of keeping tabs on your every movement when you leave your home. if we don't protest this, they will move these cameras into our homes and claim 'it's all in the name of safety'.

remember, our tax dollars pay for these roads meaning these roads belong to the people. we have a right to determine how they manage our money on our roads. not the police.

glorified security guards shouldn't have this much authority and power. i imagine this country is becoming more and more like the dream they had for Germania. this needs to stop.

are we supposed to feel comfortable with this?

i don't know how i feel about a police officer being able to disarm a person unless that person has shown to be a threat. the fact that the motorcyclist was disarmed like an enemy combatant for something as simple as a traffic stop doesn't seem right. maybe i'm wrong but rights are rights.

after reading many of the comments, i wanted to add this for the record:

i would always comply with police officers because i understand their job is dangerous which is to uphold the law. if the law says i must submit my weapon in a search and temporary seizure of my private property, my private body and my private vehicle, then i would do so because i respect the law (even if its against my 2nd Amendment right)... not only because i wouldn't want them to end me... that is sad that we live like this.

we all have the right to question contradictions in traffic laws and how they are enforced.

We accept this in the name of safety as we move in closer and closer to a full police state.

Debate settled. We can shut down this sub now
