📰 News we're reading
• Scottsdale group demands city repeal Axon deal or face lawsuit (azcentral.com) — Scottsdale residents may see a new legal fight over Axon’s planned headquarters campus near Loop 101 and Hayden Road, as a local PAC demands the City Council repeal its recent deal or face a lawsuit. The group argues the agreement sidestepped normal zoning and referendum procedures, while city officials insist the claims lack merit and say the compromise kept Axon’s $1.3 billion campus in north Scottsdale. 
• Porch pirates using Wi-Fi jamming technology to disable security cameras (azfamily.com) — Scottsdale residents are being warned that porch pirates in some states are using cheap Wi‑Fi jamming devices that can knock out or corrupt home security camera footage. While Scottsdale Police say they haven’t yet received such reports locally, experts suggest hard‑wired or locally stored cameras, multiple Wi‑Fi networks, and simple delivery precautions to stay ahead of potential thieves.
