Reminder - Locals only in political posts

We don't care what your political affiliation is. We don't care what you post. But if you come here and post in a political thread and have never posted here before, you get booted.

If you want to talk politics, cool, knock yourself out. But you had better have talked about something else LOCAL first. Anything else.

The only reason this rule exists is because every single political post gets astroturfed hard by a crap-ton of idiots from all over reddit.

Where do you dispose of or recycle lithium batteries?

You can't throw them in the garbage. Southern Oregon Sanitation charges a $25 minimum to drop them off. My collection of dead lipo and lipoly is growing.

Josephine Co. Sheriff's Office deactivates Flock cameras

The Josephine County Sheriff’s Office has been in contract with an Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) company named FLOCK. A contract for 10 cameras was entered into to increase the ability to identify/locate stolen vehicles, wanted or missing subjects associated with a specific vehicle and in general enhance the ability to investigate crimes.

In recent months some of the equipment and technology has been targeted and vandalized. There has been a great deal of public concern over this technology and its potential infringement of Constitutional 4th Amendment rights. Many jurisdictions across the United States have run into the same situation of theft, damage and social concern resulting in numerous cancellations of contracts with FLOCK. Josephine County is no different. While the technology has been beneficial in solving crime and overall public safety, it is clear much of Josephine County is not ready or willing to accept the use of ALPR technology.

We at the Sheriff’s Office work for the public and we are listening to you. As a result, I have requested Josephine County Legal Counsel to send a “contract termination for convenience” letter to FLOCK. Effective immediately, FLOCK ALPRs are no longer activated in rural Josephine County and the contract with the Sheriff’s Office has ended. While some of the equipment is still in the field, it is not being used. It is unknown when FLOCK will remove their equipment at this time.

Thank you for your continued support of the Josephine County Sheriff’s Office. We will continue to “Protect with Courage and Serve with Compassion”.
