THIS IS HORRIFIC:

"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.'"

She Got an Abortion. So A Texas Cop Used 83,000 Cameras to Track Her Down.

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: Lawmakers who support reproductive rights must recognize that abortion access and mass surveillance are incompatible. The systems built to track stolen cars and issue parking tickets have become tools to enforce the most personal and politically charged laws in the country.

@anirvan That sounds like sociopathic obsession to me. That cop is seriously sick and evil.
