Charlottesville, VA Disables Citywide Crime Cameras to Help Illegal Alien Criminals Evade the Law

David Frum, quoting CBS19:

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (CBS19 NEWS) -- The City of Charlottesville will not move forward with the Flock Safety license plate reader system following the conclusion of a yearlong pilot program, despite reported success in helping police solve crimes.

City Council decided during its meeting on Monday, citing concerns largely outside the city's control.

"I just think that the concerns are much bigger than us," Charlottesville Police Chief Michael Kochis said.

Over the 12-month pilot period, the Charlottesville Police Department gathered feedback from community members on the use of the Flock camera system.

"Most of the feedback we got was very positive from folks in the community. That being said, there were some concerns," Kochis said.

Among the primary concerns were how data collected by Flock could potentially be accessed or used beyond the city's control, including fears it could be obtained by federal agencies for unintended purposes, such as tracking undocumented immigrants.

"The big concerns continue to come up from mostly policymakers that, you know, are they the federal government or the administration in D.C. could get access to it," Kochis said.

Despite those concerns, Kochis said the system proved effective during the pilot program.

"It's helped us solve our homicide in the city. It has helped us recover a missing child. It has helped us recover missing people. It does help us recover stolen cars in time frames that actually have meaning," he said.

But fuck American citizens, the only ones who matter are foreign criminals.

It's not just foreign criminals who are more important than law-abiding, moral and good American citizens.

It's home-grown thugs and killers, too.
