From technological advances in things we're familiar with, like cameras and license plate readers, to newer developments like drones and artificial intelligence, police departments have more tools than ever with which to operate.
North Richland Hills police Chief Mike Young says most of the available tools weren't even a thought when he entered law enforcement nearly 40 years ago. Levelland police Chief Albert Garcia, the president of the Texas Police Chiefs Association, explains how departments statewide strike the balance between safety and privacy. And ACLU of Texas staff attorney Savannah Kumar shares concerns that technology will advance faster than lawmakers can keep up with regulating it.
