    Similarly, 404 Media revealed last year that a sheriff’s office in Texas searched ALPR data to track down a woman suspected of self-managing an abortion. The officer searched 6,809 different camera networks, including in states where abortion access is protected by law. The search record just listed the reason as: “had an abortion, search for female”.

    “State’s rights” everyone.

      6,809 did they use AI? Do they search almost 7,000 cameras in attempts to help rape victims?

    Probably just a few bad cops. Most.of them are good and wouldnt do this right? It’s not like it’s a systemic culture of abuse and corruption behind this is there?

    I don’t know who needs the reminder, but do not get involved with cops, off-“duty” or not, FOR ANY REASON.

    Gee who would have thought the ones who are shooting protestors would also be using surveillance as a way to stalk women who dared to tell them no! I wouldn’t doubt if a large majority of those who sign up to be cops did it for the power trip.

    Absolutely saw this coming a mile away - but I was told I was an alarmist. Fuck fascism and kill all fascists.
