Recent revelations have shown that a Texas sheriff's office utilized data from over 83,000 cameras to track down a woman suspected of self-managing an abortion. This search referenced the individual's reproductive choice explicitly, highlighting the invasive surveillance powers granted to law enforcement following the Supreme Court's reversal of Roe v. Wade. While Texas imposes severe restrictions on abortion, places like Washington continue to protect it legally. The resulting environment allows law enforcement to use data like license plate records to extend surveillance across state lines, presenting significant threats to personal liberties and privacy.
In Texas, surveillance techniques like ALPRs are being misused to track individuals suspected of exercising their reproductive rights, raising serious concerns about privacy and civil liberties.
With more than 4,000 law enforcement agencies having access to ALPR data, the potential for abuse and surveillance extends far beyond Texas, potentially impacting individuals' rights across the country.
