Timmons says he placed a tracker on the police chief’s truck and a surveillance camera on a car wash pointing at city hall where the chief’s office is because the mayor’s signature goes on the chief’s time sheets and he had concerns about them.

“The mayor’s position is not just shaking hands and kissing babies,” Timmons said.

But the mayor says he did not expect officers’ signatures on a bunch of resignation letters and did not expect the entire full-time Milner police department to resign effective Wednesday, Oct. 28.

The mayor wants to and says he’ll be able to keep a police department. In the meantime, the sheriff will patrol.

Milner Police Chief Lamar Bunn says he’s done nothing wrong.

On one hand, having your boss micromanage the hell out of you and kind of stalk you is insane.

On the other hand, that's what cops do daily to everyone with ALPR's. I'm not sure where to put my rage on this one lol. How's it feel to be treated the way you treat others?

I used to be a delivery driver for a wholesale bakery. The van was rigged to text my boss every time I went over 55MPH. This was years ago. The fact that there isn’t a similar level of surveillance on police is wild

There typically is on cruisers. There isn't on their personal vehicles they take to the office.
