Texas is a misogynist hellscape</p><p>“While this particular data point explicitly mentioned an abortion, scores of others in the audit logs released through public records requests simply list "investigation" as the reason for the plate search, with no indication of the alleged offense. That means other searches targeting someone for abortion, or another protected right in that jurisdiction, could be effectively invisible.</p><p>“This case underscores our growing concern: that the mass surveillance infrastructure—originally sold as a tool to find stolen cars or missing persons—is now being used to target people seeking reproductive healthcare. This unchecked, warrant-less access that allows law enforcement to surveil across state lines blurs the line between “protection” and persecution.”</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Texas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Texas</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Abortion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Abortion</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/RightToChoose" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RightToChoose</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/WomensRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WomensRights</span></a> <br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/MyBodyMyChoice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MyBodyMyChoice</span></a> <br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a></p>
