There is no bureaucratic means of reforming this. And there is no reason to trust a contract that has no enforcement mechanism.”&#34; <a href="https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/the-mass-surveillance-debate-is-back/">https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/the-mass-surveillance-debate-is-back/</a> 2026-02-05T16:54:26Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsgqupf5k2kqyeqk4s5kmxqfvvu3wq2xgfaxxaacrwjs4j2wn5u6uszyzmtp68nje382n94v5w9q72n55wwcsaumdqcfvrwd0xnmpxzdlapuchgtlr EFF-Austin recently spoke with the City of Austin Technology Commission about ALPRs, you can find video of our presentation here: <a href="https://austintx.new.swagit.com/videos/349277">https://austintx.new.swagit.com/videos/349277</a> 2025-07-16T21:49:50Z
