The Women Questioning America’s Expanding Surveillance State
From the serene farming community of Paonia, Colorado to the rapidly growing city of Chandler, Arizona women are showing up at public meetings with increasingly urgent questions about surveillance technology spreading through American communities.
Women, mothers, and longtime residents are taking the mic to question AI-powered license plate reader systems positioned near schools, parks, neighborhoods, and major roadways... asking how these systems were approved with little public awareness.
In Chandler, nearly 40 speakers addressed city leaders over concerns tied to license plate readers and long-term storage of vehicle location data.
In Paonia, a town of fewer than 1,500 residents on Colorado’s Western Slope, trustees and residents debated what kind of future they want for their community as surveillance technology reaches even rural America.
Listen to the growing national debate over privacy, transparency, AI-driven policing technology, and the expanding digital footprint of ordinary Americans.
