Grand Jury Declines to Indict Man Caught on Camera Destroying Flock Pole
"Any good prosecutor can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich." The post Grand Jury Declines to Indict Man Caught on Camera Destroying Flock Pole appeared first on Futurism .
In a surprising turn of events, a grand jury in Ohio decided not to indict a man accused of destroying a Flock automatic license plate reader (ALPR). The incident occurred in June when Union Township police arrested Cody Morelock, alleging he removed bolts on the ALPR pole, caused it to topple over, and ultimately destroyed the surveillance camera and its solar panel.
Despite the prosecution's solid case, bolstered by surveillance footage, credit card info, and a customer rewards account, the jury declined to bring felony charges against Morelock, resulting in the dismissal of all charges. Grand juries typically bring charges against the accused, but this unique outcome may be attributed to Flock's poor reputation, which garners widespread social media support for the accused in similar cases.
