In a chilling sign of how far law enforcement surveillance has encroached on personal liberties, 404 Media recently revealed that a sheriff’s office in Texas searched data from more than 83,000 automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras to track down a woman suspected of self-managing an abortion. The officer searched 6,809 different camera networks maintained by surveillance tech company Flock Safety, including states where abortion access is protected by law, such as Washington and Illinois. The search record listed the reason plainly: “had an abortion, search for female.”
Well that’s fucking horrifying
Aside from all the other horrors, doesn’t this cop have something better to do with his time? Get a non terrifying hobby.
Someone breaks into a townhouse, steals thousands of dollars of items, causes physical harm to the individual who resides there. They tell them “ask your friends if they did it”
Get an abortion? Fucking hunt em down!
Nope this is right up my alley of interactions with cops, they aren’t there for you, don’t trust them, acab.
No, if they actually went after reap criminals they might put themselves in danger.
