REPORTS FROM AIRSTRIP ONE: Police detectors to warn mobile phone-using drivers.

The Thames Valley and Hampshire forces are rolling out the technology to show when motorists are using their phones.

A sign will flash at the driver telling them to stop using their mobile – but the detectors cannot tell if it is a driver or passenger using the phone.

Flashing signs to distract drivers who might not be the ones using their phones? What could go wrong?

HMM: Secret tapes linger over Buttigieg’s meteoric rise.

An Indiana judge will rule soon on whether to release five cassette tapes of secretly recorded conversations between South Bend police officers that led to the 2012 demotion of Police Chief Darryl Boykins, the city’s first ever black police chief.

The South Bend City Council subpoenaed Buttigieg to win release of the tapes, which were at the center of a police department shake-up and a series of lawsuits.

Buttigieg’s critics say he’s gone to great lengths to conceal the contents of the tapes, which some believe could include racist language by white police officers.

There is roiling anger in South Bend over the allegations of racism. Black leaders in the city say that if there is evidence of racism, it could call into question scores of convictions that stemmed from white police officers investigating black suspects in a city that is 25 percent black.

There’s no telling yet if there’s any there there, but Buttigieg’s “meteoric rise” has so far been a media frenzy having very little to do with actual polling. His recent “bust out” in Iowa has him with single digits in a distant third place.

BLUE CITY BLUES: Mapping San Francisco’s Human Waste Challenge – 132,562 Cases Reported In The Public Way Since 2008.

San Francisco hosts an estimated homeless population of 7,500 people. Affluent sections of the city have become dangerous with open-air drug use, tens of thousands of discarded needles, and, sadly, human feces.

Since 2011, there have been at least 118,352 reported instances of human fecal matter on city streets.

New mayor, London Breed, won election by promising to clean things up. However, conditions are the same or worse. Last year, the number of reports spiked to an all-time high at 28,084. In first quarter 2019, the pace continued with 6,676 instances of human waste in the public way.

The last Republican mayor of San Francisco, George Christopher, left office in 1968.
