Round 1

Have you ever walked into a hotel room and wondered what that chair's for?

Well a Tennessee Probation and Parole officer may have inadvertently stumbled upon the answer

While staying at a hotel in Memphis for a training conference he moved "that chair in the corner" when a key fell out.

Just like in a survival horror game, this was an obvious clue to look closer

He flipped the chair on it's side and discovered the bottom had been cut out. Inside was a big black package.

After alerting local authorities they broke open the package to discover over 6 THOUSAND homemade little blue pills, but not the kind that get you excited

Vacuum sealed and wrapped in electrical tape, investigators' leading theory is that whoever was meant to come back for it, had been arrested

or perhaps someone just accidentally left over 60k in product behind

Ya know Ive heard horror stories of things like bed bugs in hotels, but I've never thought to check for thousands of dollars of lethal dope, too.

If you think that story sounds a little too lucky, you arent alone. Over half the comments were people questioning the official narrative.

Only time will tell, in the meantime what's the strangest thing YOU'VE ever found in a hotel room?

Round 2

Speaking of things that arent meant to be there, Imagine getting a parking ticket for dropping your kid off at school?

Well, some parents have already received a warning in Murfreesboro

Ya see this stretch of Bishop St dead ends to a cul de sac. On that cul de sac is a sidewalk that leads directly to seigal Middle school

There's also— this new sign. Ya see the problem?

Parents say they havent been blocking driveways or hydrants, and are just stopping long enough for their kids to tuck and roll to the footpath

something they say has been practice for over 2 decades.

I totally understand the neighbors not wanting their quiet dead end street to become the unofficial middle school car pool lane

But, if ya didnt want kids using it to get to school, then maybe ya shouldn't have put a sidewalk there?

What do you think? Are the people complaining just being obtuse? Or, do they have a point?

That's 2 down with 1 to go, help us start the month off right and lets see if we can get this video to 150 likes!

Round 3

Flock may have to fly south for the winter after 2 Tennessee Counties told them to buzz off.

In a move that a blind man could see coming, Knox County voted to dismantle existing cameras AND delete all the data not being used in active cases.

There seems to be a 30 day window in which the new Sheriff Brent Gibson COULD rebuild the program from scratch

But he ran on a No FLOCK platform so I dont see that as likely.

And just As that meeting was underway Hamilton County Sheriff Austin Garrett announced they would be ending their use of FLOCK as well

For those opposed to the cameras this is a small win. Counties and Cities are controlled by different boards, and this decision won't touch cameras inside city limits.

But, for now, the momentum seems to shifting. How do you feel about flock?
