Jim Merritt

Jim, Jim Merritt was with us and told, told us about this, and he was super excited about it a few years ago.

Yeah.

Um, where you have, uh, essentially a small nuclear reactor that can...

Uh, we had a very real discussion with the b- the sheriff's candidates, and they have two different views.

Uh, one of them says, "Hey, we gotta pull flock cameras out.

They've gotta go." And we've got, uh, Jim Nicholson says, "Hey, they are critical to what we do as a, as law enforcement, and we need them as a tool." Um, the general public says that's fine, but we have all of these law enforcement officers that have been charged and are now g- starting to plead out from abusing systems.

You got a guy in Jackson County who looked up his girlfriend 2,000 times.

Um, but I just wanna ask them some questions.

I wanna thank Jim Merritt for helping me put together some of these questions of what he would have liked to have been asked when he was running when he held this seat.

So Jim, thank you very much for being here.

So, uh, Dr. Albright, we will start with you.
