    TIRES: New California Rules for Replacement Tires

    A 72-year-old Army veteran and Portland business owner is facing a $10 million civil lawsuit three years after shooting a man who broke into his granite countertop shop.

    FLOCK DATABASE: New Website Lets Checks If Your License Plate Has Been Searched

    A new website called HaveIBeenFlocked.com allows motorists to check whether their license plate has been searched in data collected by Flock Safety, a company that operates one of the largest networks of automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras in the United States. Abel Schipper denies intentionally harming his former girlfriend during a school dodgeball game and says the incident was part of normal play, not an assault. Prosecutors disagree, alleging that the girl was repeatedly targeted and suffered significant bruising. The misdemeanor assault case remains pending as Abel prepares for further court proceedings. The Washington Post reports that Truth Social's new Truth API product, which sells rapid access to President Trump's posts for up to $100,000 per month, has sparked lawsuits and legal concerns. Critics argue that official presidential announcements should not be available sooner to paying customers, while Trump Media insists the service is a legitimate commercial product similar to other premium information feeds. For decades, Baltimore struggled with thousands of vacant homes that contributed to neighborhood decline and discouraged investment. Now, many of those same properties are becoming valuable because the broader U.S. housing affordability crisis is pushing buyers to look for lower-cost opportunities.

    ROGER LAW: Luigi Mangione's Plea Deal, Transportation Tax & Flock Cameras

    Luigi Mangione, accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in 2024, ultimately pleaded guilty to federal stalking charges on August 14, 2026, after ABC News initially reported that a plea agreement was expected. Fresno County has launched a high-stakes legal fight over the Better Roads, Safe Streets transportation-tax initiative, arguing that AB 1923 unlawfully forced a local measure onto the November ballot. While the Board of Supervisors wants the vote delayed until March 2028, Elections Clerk James Kus says state law requires a November election. The ultimate decision will likely rest with a judge in the coming weeks. The debate over Flock license-plate cameras and other surveillance technology in Fresno is continuing, and Fresno police are now considering a program that could significantly expand the number of cameras available to law enforcement through voluntary participation by residents and neighborhoods.
