A Houston federal judge has given FEMA three weeks to decide if its going to change its policy of denying disaster relief
to religious institutions, rejecting FEMAs attempt to delay a challenge by three Texas churches.
Since the devastation by Hurricane Harvey in late August, FEMA has denied houses of worship access to federal disaster
aid grants due to their religious status while allowing other nonprofits and businesses to apply, but Judge Keith Ellison has
given the agency until Dec. 1 to change that policy.

Police in the US state of Delaware are poised to deploy smart cameras in cruisers to help authorities detect a vehicle carrying
a fugitive, missing child or straying senior.
The video feeds will be analyzed using artificial intelligence to identify vehicles by license plate or other features and
give an extra set of eyes to officers on patrol, says David Hinojosa of Coban Technologies, the company providing the
equipment.
We are helping officers keep their focus on their jobs, said Hinojosa, who touts the new technology as a dashcam on steroids.
The program is part of a growing trend to use vision based AI to thwart crime and improve public safety, a trend which has
stirred concerns among privacy and civil liberties activists who fear the technology could lead to secret profiling and misuse
of data.
