Source: City of Mountain View statement on ALPR data access

Date Published: January 30, 2026
Relevant To: ALPR presentation (August) — federal-access precedent parallel to Bend
Verification Status: Verified
Notes: Mountain View, CA discovered unauthorized federal access to its Flock ALPR data amid the 2026 immigration enforcement crackdown — a close parallel to Bend’s own 279-query episode. Companion coverage: Mountain View Voice and Local News Matters. Useful as a second, independent example (alongside Woodburn, OR, cataloged separately) that the federal-access pattern isn’t unique to Bend or to Oregon. Migrated from the existing Bend Surveillance Oversight source library.
