[ad_1] President Abelardo de la Espriella took office on August 7, in the process all but completing Latin America’s turn to rightwing governments to political power.

In 2017 Garrett Langley, along with two other fellow Georgia Tech graduates, designed a purpose-built surveillance camera on his dining room table. He received positive feedback from a Georgia police detective, which inspired him to create what would become the United States’ largest automated license plate reading (ALPR) surveillance company and positioned himself as CEO. Within seven years following its founding, Flock had a meteoric rise in popularity among local law enforcement, claiming to…
