## Resource

Blue Springs is boldly expanding its Flock camera network to over 160 cameras citywide, a $5 million investment that’s already captured nearly 900,000 drivers in just one month — while other cities scale back. Residents question the speed and secrecy of the rollout, citing missing records on camera usage and audit protocols. The police chief defends the system, highlighting its role in solving serious crimes, recovering stolen vehicles, and ending an Amber Alert — but critics remain uneasy about privacy trade-offs when only a fraction of data leads to major cases. The department vows to keep going, now offering a new transparency portal for public access. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
