Today's riddle: What day of the year is trucker's day? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Person found dead along I-85 near Greer; police investigating (islandpacket.com) — Police are investigating after a person was found dead Wednesday evening along I-85 southbound near Exit 60 by Greer, causing a large law enforcement presence and traffic delays. The individual has not yet been identified, and officers have released no details about how the person died, but residents who travel that stretch should be aware of the ongoing investigation.
• Another Upstate Deputy resigns amid Flock Cam investigation (audacy.com) — Greer residents should know that local police are among several Upstate agencies where officers have resigned amid investigations into alleged misuse of Flock license-plate cameras. A second Anderson County deputy just stepped down, and Greenville County has fired employees, while lawmakers are expected to consider new rules for the surveillance system next year.
• Oconee County votes to restrict Flock surveillance cameras, affecting Clemson data sharing (thetigercu.com) — Greer residents are indirectly tied to a major privacy debate after Oconee County voted 4–1 to restrict Flock license plate cameras, citing concerns about mass surveillance and constitutional rights. The move follows the firing of two Greer police officers for improperly searching people in the system, raising fresh questions about how local and regional agencies handle drivers' data.
