Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office is upgrading its license plate reader tech from Flock to Axon — not just for convenience, but for control. With Axon already powering their body cams and digital evidence, this move expands a trusted system while locking down data access, limiting sharing by default and requiring strict authorization. The switch comes after Flock faced criticism for cross-state data leaks, and BCSO aims to balance public safety with privacy under tight oversight. Sheriff John Allen emphasized accountability, citing zero disciplinary cases and an ethics-driven framework that only allows searches tied to active criminal investigations. Full rollout before 2026 hinges on contracts, testing, and training — all aimed at seamless integration with existing crime center systems.

Former UFC fighter Diego Sanchez is facing serious legal trouble after being arrested in Socorro County on aggravated DUI charges. Witnesses at a gas station reported him acting erratically, following someone into the store and banging on doors. Police found him unsteady on his feet, smelled alcohol, noted bloodshot eyes and slurred speech — and he failed a sobriety test. He fled in a black BMW before being pulled over, leading to his arrest. This isn’t his first brush with the law — he was arrested in 2025 for firing a weapon from a car in Albuquerque, and this incident may violate his active five-year probation. With court proceedings looming, fans are watching closely as his public profile faces another major setback.

As President Trump headlines the Republican midterm convention in Dallas, New Mexico GOP candidates are split on attending—Greg Cunningham speaks for national exposure while Gregg Hull and Martin Zamora stay local to focus on voters. Cunningham’s speech will spotlight Democratic policies’ impact in New Mexico, positioning him as the first NM Republican to address a national convention in over a decade. The event, dubbed “Trump-a-palooza,” reflects the party’s push for momentum—but whether it sparks a surge or fades into background depends on how candidates balance national stage vs. grassroots strategy.

Step back in time to Madrid, New Mexico, where the historic Oscar Huber Memorial Ballpark—once home to minor league legends and even major leaguers—still pulses with baseball magic. This past Saturday, the New Mexico Earthlings crushed the Norman Dirty Birds in a fun, free sandlot showdown, but it wasn’t the score that stole the show—it was the vibe: post-game beers at the Mine Shaft, live choir performances by the Dirty Birds, and chile dogs for the win. Part of a revived Texas-based league, these games are pure, unfiltered baseball joy—and they’re all free. Up next: Marfa, Texas, then Las Cruces Bandoleros in October. Don’t miss it.

UNM’s football game is set to draw a massive crowd—up from 24K to nearly 30K fans—and police are bracing for chaos, especially with parking. To ease the strain, they’re heavily promoting park-and-ride shuttles and optimizing lot layouts, even squeezing in 400 extra cars last week. Traffic control is a joint effort involving APD and Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office, with drones monitoring flow and officers communicating constantly. As crowds grow, state Senator Antonio Maestas says it’s time to treat Division I football as a state priority—calling for more funding for stadiums and athletes. With construction slated to begin after the New Mexico Bowl, fans will need to arrive two hours early and be ready to walk from their parking spots.

Bernalillo County’s license plate tech is getting a major upgrade — thanks to a Rio Rancho resident who literally handed over stolen Flock readers to the Sheriff’s Office. Sheriff John Allen’s team is now switching to Axon, already used for body cams, prioritizing local data control and security after rejecting national database integration. While the system helps deputies catch criminals faster, its effectiveness is tempered by vandalism and equipment theft — a reality that keeps the Sheriff quiet about the tech’s full potential.
