Deputy Police Chief Resigns While State Agents Examine a 2023 Shooting Investigation

Horry County's deputy police chief resigned as the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division examined alleged misconduct connected to the department's own investigation of a 2023 road rage shooting.

The subject of the inquiry is not the shooting itself but how the department investigated it, which is a category of case that rarely reaches the public at all. For an independent overview, see EFF, automated licence plate readers.

The report is at Yahoo News.

A few principles hold across this category. The right device is the one matched to your concern, your case, and your tolerance for downtime, not the newest machine on the floor. Settings, operator experience, and a test spot for higher-risk case types matter more than the brand name on the platform. Ask which wavelength is being used and why it fits your case before any treatment begins.

Outcomes also depend on realistic staging. Most protocols are a planned series rather than a single visit, and final results are best judged weeks to months after the last session as the case remodels. A careful consultation should set that timeline out in plain terms, name the expected recovery, and explain the plan if a side effect appears.
