Targeted: A futuristic data policing program is harassing Pasco County families

[Zorro]

5. Very informative and a bit disturbing

There is a need for an effective community police force, but systemic harassing over chickenshit stuff is an abuse that definitely needs to be curtailed.

I own a home in Pasco County, and see a remarkable number of patrol cars on the road every time I go out. It's both reassuring and discomforting at the same time.

Pasco County was one of the featured locations on A&E's Live PD show until about a year ago, until (I guess) they felt like they were getting too much notoriety. The sheriff's office used to put addresses of homes they were called to online along with the complaint, but they cut that out about the same time.

The paper may win a Pulitzer for this reporting.
