Help 404 Media Find Out How Your Local Police Are Surveiling You

Cities across the country are replacing Flock's automatic license plate reader cameras with Axon's equivalent system, prompting 404 Media to investigate how police are using Axon's surveillance technology and sharing that data. The outlet has begun filing public records requests for Axon "activity reports" that detail when officers searched the system, their identity, and stated reasons, and is asking residents to help by filing similar requests in their own jurisdictions. This effort builds on 404 Media's previous reporting on how Flock cameras were misused for immigration enforcement and abortion-related surveillance.
