Link Resource Database
Links to reliable sources (news articles, research, and analysis) for informed opposition to dragnet mass
surveillance.
This database focuses on
facts and reporting rather than opinion or philosophy. The more reliable, the better. We're looking for things
that can be presented to elected officials and other decision-makers as independent, reliable sources that
they should take seriously.

""I will say that I think you know what I've heard you say, Sheriff Honsel, often is that one of your best tools of all is public trust and the public's willingness to call you, call your department, and report crimes and provide you with information when you're trying to solve crimes. … I suspect that there's a lot more crimes that are solved with a high trust level (than with trust-undermining surveillance).""

"Buford City Schools in Georgia, which serves only about 6,000 students, illustrates the scale of this prying. Between January 2025 and March 2026, school police ran more than 375 searches where officers listed school residency verification, or simply "RV," as the reason for the search. That accounts for more than half of all ALPR searches in that period, and in those three months of 2026, three-quarters of all searches were related to residency verification."
