Adding on from a conversation with the Monument PD officer who referenced a bulletin the agency received as well as conversation with El Paso County deputies;
Callahan and El Paso County Sheriff's both doing shift change at 1600, going from a whopping 4 law enforcement officers in Northeast El Paso County to 0 for about a half an hour. Based on my observation Elbert County to shift change around then also.
Northeast Colorado Springs and Monument getting robberies and burglaries daily from both tweakers and Latin gangs impersonating food delivery, FedEx, and Amazon drivers. This particular officer lives in Elizabeth off County Road 13 and he's had Latino suspected gang members knocking on his door and then going around and checking the other doors and looking through the windows according to his security cameras.
All of El Paso County having vehicles broken into daily and the deputy recommended if we have a CCW and we leave our vehicle carry our gun don't leave it in the vehicle.
A cute little crime spree in southern Colorado Springs, Fountain, Security Widefield areas, where some group specifically went after law enforcement and military identified vehicles and estimates are at least 50 sets of plate carriers and helmets were stolen in a one week period.
Southeast El Paso County had incidents where Latino men were on dirt roads blocking them as if there's road hazard, sometimes putting out a cone or two, and then when people stopped they were ambushed from the right and left side and robbed. Advice given was if it does not look like official road crew with large barriers and large reflective signs to either push through people saying "stop there's a hazard" or if you could identify it early to stop turn around and go the other way, don't even take the risk of an ambush.
Overall theory from officer was that the cities have so much competition for crime territory that these people are coming out to the country to explore uncontested targets of opportunity.
🔎 🇺🇸 🚗 Flock Safety’s AI cameras are scanning 20 billion license plates every month, giving police the power to track any vehicle’s movements across cities and jurisdictions in seconds.
The system doesn’t just read plates — it logs color, make, model, and details like bumper stickers or gun racks, then stores everything in a searchable cloud database.
Police can reconstruct travel history, set alerts, and pull data from other agencies. The company says it played a role in about 1 million arrests last year and many police chiefs call it their most impactful tool ever.
But this mass data collection is sparking a major backlash over privacy and the 4th Amendment. Critics argue it’s indiscriminate surveillance of everyone’s movements — not targeted policing — creating a permanent dragnet of innocent drivers without warrants.
Flock claims no facial recognition is used and data is deleted after 30 days by default, with some safeguards in place. This may be true ...
🇺🇸🐊⚡️- In a PBS/NPR affiliated WGCU and Florida Trident article, Byron Donalds’ ex wife, Bisa Hall, describes a man who looks nothing like the image he sells. She says he pretended to be Jamaican at FAMU, even using an accent, before later admitting he was actually from New York. For a man now asking American voters for trust, even his own American background was apparently flexible when it suited him.
Hall says he was not religious or conservative when she knew him. He had also registered as a Democrat in Tallahassee, but the bigger issue is what she describes as a pattern of reinvention whenever opportunity called. As she put it, “An opportunistic person like he is will take whatever opportunity they’re given.”
The record is not much better. Donalds was arrested for marijuana possession with intent to distribute, not simple possession as he has described it. He was also arrested on a felony bribery charge, pleaded no contest, and later gave an explanation Hall says ...
