## Resource

Moody police credited Flock cameras with saving a 13-year-old girl after she was snatched from a Circle K—tracking her abductor’s vehicle to I-59 near Bessemer, leading to a swift rescue before an Amber Alert was needed. Chief Reece Smith hailed the tech as vital, though he also stressed accountability: a Moody officer was fired in July for misusing the system, and while he supports stronger penalties, firing offenders remains the right move. The cameras log license plates only, deleting data after 30 days, and Smith argues they’re not as invasive as critics claim—no private addresses captured. The case is still unfolding with FBI involvement as debates over privacy and oversight continue. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
