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?
