With the passage of SB 6002 Pierce County Sheriff's Office has turned off our Automatic License Plate Reader cameras.
These cameras were not used to track people. We used them to get hits on wanted vehicles. The camera runs plates, and if it is a wanted vehicle, the deputy is notified. If it is not a wanted vehicle, the information is not even gathered.
Now, we will have to go back to the old school way of typing in plates to see if that certain vehicle is wanted. Since we don't want distracted driving, even from our deputies, they won't be running many plates while they are driving.
I'm all for privacy, but I am also for solving crimes and finding missing loved ones. It's a balancing act, and PCSO was doing that. We didn't put out flock cameras in your communities.
This law will hamper us finding missing dementia patients, and finding that homicide suspect who just killed someone in your neighborhood.
I am not saying this because, "I'm mad, and I'm taking my toys home." I am not mad about it. I am just letting you know our solve rate and prosecution rate will decrease.
The reason Democrats passed this bill was to thwart ICE and keep criminal illegal aliens in our communities. They DO NOT care about your privacy.
I hope voters remember this in November.

@PNWConservative @Beth862142751 I have to think the Dems are waiting for this. Perhaps a showdown in the state supreme court - would not bode well for our side.

I could be wrong but iI havent heard him call out Thune for blocking appointments during breaks.

Retweet this post below. Schiff is tagged, so he’ll see every one of you who detests his lying, filthy existence.

Who’s ready to see Adam Schiff go to jail for the Russian collusion hoax, mortgage fraud, and J6 committee lies? He’s tagged in this post! Let him hear you.

I heard he gave a rousing speech at an airport recently to the effect To 12 people, the exact number that would vote for him in an honest election.

@CoryBooker That’s a lie. You know it, yet spew it anyway.

Hello Senator Thune,
At 3 AM on Friday, March 27th, in a near-empty chamber, you passed a bill by voice vote that excludes all funding for ICE and CBP.
Let me repeat that: voice vote. No roll call. No record of who was there. No accountability. Just you, Barrasso, and a handful of senators shuffling paper in the dead of night while America slept.
You could have demanded a recorded vote. You chose not to.
You could have held the line for five more days until the House returned. You chose not to.
You could have used the same procedural tools Democrats have used against you for 40 days. You chose not to.
Instead, you gave Chuck Schumer exactly what he asked for, DHS funding minus immigration enforcement, and called it a win. Then you walked to the cameras and blamed the Democrats.
Let's be precise about what you did:
1. You caved to a demand Democrats made on Day 1 of this shutdown. Forty-one days of supposed hardball negotiation, and you settled for their opening offer.
2. You handed them a template. The next time Democrats want to defund any agency — ICE, CBP, or anything else — they now know: just shut down DHS and wait. John Thune will fold at 3 AM.
3. You punted to reconciliation. "Good possibility," you said. Not "we will." Not "guaranteed." Just maybe. Meanwhile, ICE operates on fumes from last year's bill with no certainty of future funding.
The precedent you set:
You have argued for months that the filibuster is sacrosanct. That the 60-vote threshold protects minority rights. That we cannot bend Senate rules for policy wins.
But at 3 AM on Friday, you bent every norm that actually mattered:
• Voice vote to avoid accountability
• Empty chamber to avoid debate
• Midnight deal to avoid scrutiny
• Immediate recess to avoid questions
You'll bend the rules to avoid a fight. You just won't bend them to win one.
What you've actually accomplished:
Democrats demanded ICE restrictions. They got ICE defunded.
Not reformed. Not restrained. Defunded.
And you're out here tweeting about how Democrats are the "Defund the Police" party while you just voted to defund border enforcement at 3 in the morning.
The question you should answer:
Why did this deal have to happen at 3 AM?
Why couldn't it happen at 3 PM, with cameras rolling and every senator on record?
You know why. Because you didn't want your voters to see what surrender looks like.
Here's my message: We saw it anyway.
Stop hiding behind "Democrat obstruction." You're the Majority Leader. You set the schedule. You control the floor. You chose this outcome.
Own it.

Not sure. Might have been Tachi - FEAMCOM. I was 6.
Dad picked us up from Sunday school to park o the end of the runway to watch planes coming in and out. Not many. But remember the beautiful C-54, CAT C-46’s - not much traffic on Sunday. One time a B-36 shooting landings from Yakota (I think). I can still hear it. (78 now).

@donmcck @BuzzPatterson @Annieagain6 I remember one of those AF bases in Japan had a traffic light on a road at the end of the runway that would turn red during takeoffs. I was about 5 and always hoping for that red light.

Not with the same pilots, however. Those boys got in trouble.

In 2012, a C-17 Globemaster landed on a 3,000-ft runway at Peter O. Knight Airport by mistake… instead of MacDill Air Force Base. Then it took off from that same short runway like it was nothing. 📹: thewebbworks
