[QUOTE="Obi-Wan, post: 496678, member: 709"] Good to know its all about safety While Flock Safety does not publicly publish a single, live-updating counter of total nationwide searches, public record audits and civil rights lawsuits show that [B]hundreds of thousands of inquiries are requested every day[/B] across the United States.
