City council to vote on school zone cameras
SUMMARY: The Hattiesburg City Council is expected to vote on a pilot program to test using cameras in school zones to help officers curb speeding. The city leaders discussed the project during a workshop, with concerns raised regarding privacy and legalities. Mayor Barker stated that the goal is not to generate revenue but to improve behavior. If approved, the trial run would dedicate fines to community programs. Councilwoman Delgado expressed concerns about potential privacy issues with license plate readers generated by the cameras. The goal of the program is to improve safety and behavior in Hattiesburg.
It’s part of a technology system that city leaders have been discussing for the past few months.

SUMMARY: Deputy Shane Steagle and Deputy Rachel Divine, both law enforcement officers from different counties, share their journey of raising twin girls, Madison and Addison, while serving their communities. The couple met through law enforcement and began dating three years ago. They work the same shifts to spend time as a family and rely on parental support to care for their children. They emphasize that law enforcement officers are regular people balancing work and family life, and despite challenges, they find joy and fulfillment in their roles. Their story highlights the importance of community and family in law enforcement.
Shane Stegall and Rachel Devine work in two separate states but only miles apart.
SUMMARY: Dr. Ray Michael from Jackson State University discussed the Mississippi Supreme Court race, focusing on the two leading candidates: incumbent Jim Kitchens and challenger Jenifer Branning. Branning, endorsed by the state Republican Party, has received significant financial support from insurance and banking industries, likely due to past tort reform impacts in Mississippi. Despite judges being nonpartisan, Branning’s campaign has emphasized her identity as a “constitutional conservative,” reflecting a shift in political advertising in the state. This approach aims to clarify her judicial philosophy without directly addressing policy issues, aligning with conservative judicial figures like Justice Scalia.
Dr. Ray Mikell, with Jackson State University, tells us what races we should be watching.
