For those who really don't know, could you tell them what flock cameras are?

Right.

So Flock is just the name of the company.

And it's called Flock Safety.

And I think it's based in Georgia.

And what they do is they sell what they call license plate reading cameras to local police departments.

And also private companies like Home Depot or Lowe's or Fleet Farm, they buy these cameras.

So please, please address all of that.

Thank you.

Yeah, so I wanted to begin by just sort of outlining what is a typical mandate and what do these look like in practice? Like, what do we see when we walk into the classroom of a D.I.C.L.E.? ? So about 13 states, including Rhode Island, where Bill is, have mandatory CLE requirements for different topics they label as diversity, equity, inclusion, or more recently, elimination of bias, cultural competency requirements.

About 15 other states have optional rules where they allow you to take these sort of classes to meet your overall CLE requirements.

We in Wisconsin just adopted this two years ago, and we at will, we oppose this.

Justice Bradley wrote a long dissent explaining, which is in my materials, which is really interesting evaluation of these sorts of programs.

But just to start out, the typical rule just has pretty much two definitions.

They say cultural competency means a course designed to improve client communication and representation through the lens of knowledge and understanding of diverse populations.

Any comments from Dan or Professor Jacobson on that?
