A public-record newsroom tracking license-plate surveillance, government data access, court rulings, law changes, audits, and reported misuse.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-03 issue.

Field notes

The project combines a searchable source archive with dedicated desks for reporting, law, local program status, network mapping, and federal cases. Its displayed record includes 159 sources, 19 rulings, and 14 law changes, while individual entries preserve distinctions such as a temporary ALPR pause versus a cancellation. A Prescott item records reported search totals from disclosed logs and explicitly separates the newspaper's findings from an official audit conclusion.
