404 Media Asks Readers to Help Expose Axon's License Plate Surveillance
Help 404 Media Find Out How Your Local Police Are Surveiling You
As cities swap Flock's license plate readers for Axon's, 404 Media is asking readers to file public records requests for Axon activity and sharing reports. These reports reveal which officers searched the cameras, which plates they looked up, and why—plus which agencies receive the data. 404 Media has already obtained reports from six police departments and wants your help to uncover more.
We've seen with the nationwide conversation about Flock that local residents can do a lot to reveal how surveillance technology is being used in their own communities.
