WV: Large number of Flock ‘hits’ tied to sex offenders, not active investigations
During a recent information session, representatives of the Monongalia County Sheriff’s Department said the county’s 20 Flock Safety license plate reader cameras captured some 572,370 unique license plate images over a 30-day period.
The department gets a number of hits through the NCIC that it never investigates because the plates are tied to known sex offenders and not an active crime or investigation. “If you’re a registered sex offender, you’re in NCIC. So every time a sex offender drives by these cameras, they go off,” Ralston said, explaining more hits are generated by sex offenders than anything else.
By way of example, he showed all the NCIC hits that officers were alerted to between July 1 and July 17. During that time, 135 hits were sex offenders.

I saw that Volusia was instituting a domestic violence registry. Everything I read sounds eerily familiar to me. The scariest comment to me, came from Emma Sanders, the domestic abuse council’s Director of Community Impact. She said “the (domestic violence) registry is a way for people in the community to be aware of who they are dating, hiring, or hanging out with. This registry is ten years retroactive. It feels like the beginning of residency, employment and other restrictions that we have.
