Town council members in Wakarusa have approved spending nearly $15-thousand to install four Flock Safety cameras to monitor traffic safety.
Wakarusa Police are concerned about reckless drivers, speeders and overall traffic safety and they are hoping the extra surveillance will help officers reduce such incidents.
The Goshen News reports the town’s Marshal Tim Hershberger, brought up an uptick in motorcyclists traveling at speeds of 80-to-90 miles per hour and the danger of initiating a pursuit for police and the public.
Council members gave unanimous approval for a one-year trial basis.

The all seeing unblinking eye of government expands…
The town is so small there’s literally 1 stoplight here. Nothing like feeling like you’re being constantly watched.
Nothing you say will convince me that this is used just to catch speeders and traffic violators. This is truly a violation of so many rights we should have as Americans and as humans to have privacy and be able to move about freely without being constantly monitored or watched. And the fact that the government/town authorities get to decide if they go up in your neighborhood and citizens have no say.
