In what was the last post in HR history- Willie posted "had nothing to do with Bobs post"

I think insurance companies didn't have to worry about the amount of stolen vehicles much before the cameras went up, as the increase in stolen vehicles is a more recent thing. With the cameras, their payout was reduced. Without the cameras, their payout will increase. They don't like that so rates will go up. That's how I see it. mspart

I guess Bob has yet to call him out publicly like he did with Williams and Arnold.

you wish

I don't know that these systems reduce the number of cars that get stolen. The data would be interesting to look at though I assume it would be provided by Flock who has an interest in selling these camera systems and representing them as useful. I suspect where they make a difference is in recovery more than prevention. Lower recovery might drive up insurance rates, but it may not be that significant. Often recovered vehicles don't have much residual value. The news reports I've seen on this credit them with involvment of 170-180 cars recovered since 2024. Now some of those would have been recovered anyway, but at a cost of $666,000 to operate the system that's like $3700/recovery. That might give the systems too much credit because the some would be recovered anyway, but the cameras also provided some evidence that helped solve other serious crimes. The problem is that the intended use for the cameras by the people in the legislative body signing off on paying the bill might not match with how it is used in practice. It would be less problematic if the system would only record the whereabouts of cars that are stolen or part of a felony and with a warrant signed by a judge. That isn't how they get used. Maybe the Denver police only use them for help locating cars tied to serious crimes - stolen cars, bank robberies, amber alerts, etc. If the police choose to share their data with other flock users than any agency with a Flock system can view it without a warrant and use it how they see fit. My brother is a police officer and he says that at work they often use these data on routine traffic stops. If he gets to feeling like maybe the driver is transporting something illegal he might ask some questions about where they are coming from/heading to things like that. Then when he goes back to run their driver's license he checks the license plate reader data. If, for example, someone said they were coming from Maine heading to Florida and the systems says a flock camera in Denver scanned their plate yesterday he will take that as a sign that could be transporting something illegal and lying to throw him off. He will then look for a reason to search the vehicle. It would be smart for city council to focus on the privacy concerns because at the end of the day that is the problem. I suspect whether the story focuses more on privacy vs immigration might depend more on the news outlet reporting the story. City council members likely mentioned both.

Bailey next?

The “big bad news” is Gabe leaving. Better that, than having a coach cover up SA

Bob strikes again

There were some rumors on Facebook that are not good... We will see what comes out. The rumors would meet the criteria for big, bad news.

What goes around comes around Does God hate tough wrestling?

All this talk of ChatGPT and I had to try my hand at it.

And now Marchand six years for 32 million. Smells like Rodriguez will be moved but the Rats are loaded through 2030. Good luck to the rest of the NHL.

someone on HR mentioned big, bad news was coming.

What does it mean to be dismissed as it pertains to the already closed transfer portal? That he can transfer this year but wouldn't be eligible to wrestle until next year? Any thoughts?

I won't believe it until Jawn Cena reports it.

Indeed he has to because he is. Nailed it.

Sorry - mental hiccup. This is fun though

The addition of the cameras did not affect insurance rates, so I don’t see why the removal of them would. Tricky subject. I like the idea of assisting (and the key word being assisting, not guaranteeing) in retrieving stolen cars. I would have to look at some stats at what the retrieval rate was before and during the cameras before making any kind of opinion on how much it helps. Generally speaking, I wouldn’t want those cameras for that assistance at the expense of the government following me around. And there’s nothing to say the only thing they did with those cameras was look when a car was stolen. At the same time, driving these roads is a public space, not my private home. Driving is a privilege, not a right. Tricky indeed.

Tom came closest, but only did the deed three of four times. While Terry did it three out of three times he qualified for the tournament, losing the wrestleoff his freshman year knocks him out of the box.

It really feels like the reason they go after the wife, is because the they are either too chicken___ to say similar things about Beau or because acknowledging he might have a legitimate complaint might mean Cael//PSU are not perfect.

So is Bartlett saying he told Cael someone accused Starocci of raping them?

Dan Gable was one of the answers. Three years count.
