For nearly three decades, North Carolina required law enforcement officers and agencies to record information about traffic stops, searches, arrests and uses of force, creating a database that allowed the public to examine racial disparities involving individual officers and departments. That requirement ended July 1, when the General Assembly quietly repealed it through a two-line provision on page 448 of the newly passed 634-page state budget. Some law enforcement leaders welcomed the end of what they considered redundant and flawed paperwork. But researchers and civil rights advocates say the repeal eliminates one of the state’s strongest tools for identifying patterns of biased policing.

'The Odyssey' has spiked interest in IMAX70mm showings, but the company explains why building more is 'not practical.' Sources at Imax confirmed to Variety that many of the parts needed to build these specialized film projectors “simply no longer exist.” The original design files were created roughly half a century ago, but as Gelfond alludes to, they were never properly maintained.
