Pozniak: Police officers breaking the law hits public trust (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When I walked into a Burlington cafe the other day, I was struck by conversations I heard at several tables. Customers were talking about the arrest of a Burlington Police Lieutenant on domestic violence charges. One customer loudly summed up the frustration: “Why are so many cops breaking the law?” The comment should concern every police chief and member of professional law enforcement associations in Massachusetts. In the past few months, Massachusetts has seen a troubling series of incidents

Read excerpt
Technology has transformed nearly every aspect of our lives, from banking and medicine to education and shopping. It is transforming public safety as well, with resulting controversy. Flock Safety cameras are hotly debated. Flock cameras are automated license plate readers strategically placed along roadways.
