Notes: Analysis piece on ALPR insider-abuse (citing IJ’s April 2026 tally of 18 officers, since updated to 21 — see IJ entry cataloged separately). Notes EFF’s analysis of ~12 million Flock searches finding hundreds tied to political demonstrations plus targeting of Romani people and reproductive-care seekers, and a formal congressional investigation opened August 2025 into Flock’s role enabling surveillance of women, immigrants, and other vulnerable groups. Draws the “LOVEINT” parallel to NSA analyst abuse. Sources cited: 404 Media, IJ, Tom’s Hardware, EFF.
