A Texas Cop Searched License Plate Cameras Nationwide for a Woman Who Got an Abortion

The sheriff said the woman self-administered the abortion and her family were concerned for her safety, so authorities searched through Flock cameras. Experts are still concerned that a cop in a state where abortion is illegal can search cameras in others where it's a human right.

      I assumed American police just have infinite power and, more recently, extra legal protection on top of it

    Regardless of gender, ethnicity, or age, if the implications of stories like this aren’t bothering you, you’re failing to grasp the implications.

      Just gotta put a gold fringe on the license plate and then it’s not an American license plate it is a Navel license plate and they no longer have jurisdiction.

    Perhaps I’m missing this in the article:

    Presumably towns, cities, and state agencies are the ones buying these cameras. Are they able to opt out of data sharing or manually control requests? If not, is there anyone working to put these cameras on procurement blacklists?

      The government doesn’t want to blacklist them. These cameras aren’t being misused, this is exactly why they are being installed by cities across the nation. They’re fine with them being used for shit like this because they know that when it comes to go on their own witch hunts, they’ll be able to.

      And to top it off, the local politicians in charge of deciding things get a nice kickback from Flock.
