John Arnold (7/29/2026) asserts that people who claim to want less crime often reject a broad set of both enforcement technologies and interventions—more police, Flock cameras, LPRs, speed cameras, pretextual stops, DNA databases, predictive policing, electronic monitoring—as well as higher taxes to finance expanded social and health services for high‑risk populations.
