Is Lewisville still making busts after that case involving Amps and officers? Just curious if they decided to totally back off.

The technology ICE and LE are using have also grown by leaps and bounds from before due to the development of AI tech btw. A few AMP owners in the aforementioned municipalities were pulled over for mundane traffic stops a month or so ago while their AMPs were simultaneously being raided due to the deployment of Flock Safety. Flock has the ability to track any vehicle through toll cams, traffic light cameras, and 3rd party camera systems like Ring. They also are rapidly deploying Clearview AI, which is a facial recognition system that the company claims is better than what the Chinese have, so every time you're pulled over for a traffic stop or are in view of any government owned camera you're likely being logged and profiled on their systems. Welcome to the new surveillance state.
