## Resource

Gooood Saturday morning! Here's what James Clary covers today: A quick conversation about ASCAP and BMI. Flock cameras and the Automated License Plate Reader. Flock cameras can capture the make, model, color, and unique vehicle identifiers like roof racks, bumper stickers, and even dents. These cameras are usually at intersections and they are solar powered. Do they do more than capture photos of our vehicles? Some say yes. Do flock cameras stop crime in major cities like they are intended to?
