Tyler Murkerson has filed a lawsuit against Flock Safety and the Coweta County Sheriff's Office, alleging deputies repeatedly searched his license plate in the Flock system without probable cause while a separate excessive-force suit he filed against the department was pending.

A blogger published a technical walkthrough explaining how they built a terminal-friendly 'curl' version of their website, where visitors run commands like curl nytpu.com to view ANSI-formatted pages directly in a terminal. The author credits the idea to earlier curl sites by trinkey and strongsand, though an October update notes both of those original sites are no longer functional.
