• 3 takeaways from Waukee football's win over Dallas Center-Grimes (desmoinesregister.com subscription) — Waukee football fans just saw the Warriors dominate Dallas Center-Grimes 31-0, bouncing back from an 0-2 start to move to 3-2 and reassert themselves in Class 5A. A new starting quarterback and a relentless defense led the way, with big passing numbers, key stops, and a smothering pass rush that shut down a top-10 opponent.
• In Missouri, lawmakers across party lines find a common villain: Flock cameras (krcu.org) — Waukee is among several Midwest communities that have shut off or canceled Flock license plate reader cameras amid growing privacy and misuse concerns. Lawmakers and civil liberties groups across Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska are now pushing for stronger statewide rules, arguing that constant plate scanning risks mass surveillance even as police tout crime-solving benefits.
