“Two people were arrested in San Francisco in connection with a chaotic robbery of Pokemon cards, the San Francisco Police Department announced on Thursday. On May 28, police said, a person agreed to meet with someone he believed was going to buy his collection of trading cards. … The suspect then allegedly pepper-sprayed the seller and ran into a getaway car with two more suspects inside. Medical crews assessed the seller at the scene and determined he had non-life-threatening injuries. Police used Flock cameras to find the suspects’ car …. Officers used drones to follow the car and watched two suspects exit the car and enter a jewelry and pawn shop near O’Farrell and Polk streets. Plainclothes officers then took the suspects into custody and booked them into the Juvenile Justice Center, where they are facing robbery and conspiracy charges.” [editor’s note: Did even Orwell foresee this level of surveillance capability? – TLK] (06/12/26)
