Round 1
Friday afternoon the Comptroller released their report on Murfreesboro Police department's Reginal Primas
Primas was the detective indicted on August 4th on 13 counts of official misconduct, forgery, theft, and tampering with government documents.
Despite the litany of charges, the comptroller only identified 2 official violations in their report
Primas was accused of cooking the books on the Criminal Investigative Division drug money slush fund, and admitted to taking from the fund to pay for personal items
He was also accused of accessing the Criminal Justice Portal 14 times for personal reasons, and sharing that information with someone who is not a law enforcement officer
And that kinda seems pertinent to the conversation everyone is having around FLOCK Cameras.
If there's already abuse of existing systems, maybe we shouldnt add any more?
The report also identified lack of adequate oversight by the department for allowing this to occur.
Primas has court in Rutherford County September 17th but right now, it looks like the deck is stacked against him.
Round 2
Next, we get that everyone was a little on edge last week as school started up.
But a former pastor might have taken it just a bit too far
Jim Wideman, former Pastor at World Outreach Church and current Murfreesboro resident, was upset at parents blocking his driveway while waiting to pick their kids up from school
At first he took the calm approach and phoned the school
"Yes there's a bunch of parents blocking my driveway"
"I'm sorry sir, but there's nothing I can do about that"
That's when it's alleged that Mr Wideman said he would sit in his driveway exercising his 2nd Amendment rights.
That crossed the line into harassment and Mr Wideman was arrested by the Murfreesboro Police. Just 2 hours later he was released on a $2000 bond, which leads me to believe they didnt think he was THAT serious
It'll be interesting to see how this plays out, and will likely come down to the evidence and exact wording used by the pastor.
Although until Hughes V Lee is decided, "intent to go armed" is still a thing, which means technically no, you cant sit in your driveway with your strap on your lap

Round 3
Now if you're looking for the proper venue to complain avout traffic congestion slowing down your day, TDOT has a meeting coming up!
They want to know why you think traffic sucks so bad on I 65
Their official post says the meeting is to "evaluate solutions for congestion, improve travel times, and enhancing system modernization along the I-65 Corridor."
You'd think with all the traffic cameras, ai programs and employees they have, someone there would have figured out the reason traffic is so bad.
WE'RE FULL!
But, if you want to go tell the experts what they should already know, there are 3 meetings on this, you can pause to read the details.
