ACLU Supporter, a camera may have scanned your license plate today and handed your data to a database that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), police, and tech employees can all access.

Automatic license plate readers (ALPRs) like Flock and Axon are forcing their way into our neighborhoods across the country, quietly building detailed records on where we go, who we're with, and what we do. It doesn't matter which company's creepy cameras show up on your street – this isn't about safety – it's a business model built on stripping away our privacy, one scan at a time.

Congress has the power to shut this down. Tell them to get these creepy cameras out of our communities now.

People across the country are organizing and demanding their local governments cut ties with ALPR companies, because the harm mass surveillance causes is clear.

Police have used this technology to stalk exes and intimidate critics. ICE has used it to hunt down and terrorize immigrant communities. Every scan adds another piece of our life that ends up in someone else's hands with no oversight and no accountability for what happens next.

We're demanding Congress protect our right to privacy and ban this dystopian technology from our communities.

Every day ALPR cameras stay active is another day of surveillance we didn't agree to. Tell Congress: no Flock, no ALPRs, no exceptions, no excuses. Get these cameras out now.

In action,

The ACLU Team
