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?

You’re lucky if they even open the fucking rape kit
