U.S. Representative Russ Fulcher co-sponsored the Privacy Act (H.R. 9716), a bill to restrict federal law enforcement's access to surveillance data from local automated license plate readers and other equipment by requiring warrants, setting data retention limits, and restricting federal funding for these devices.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Federal agents now need warrants to access most local surveillance data, which opens a window for you to position privacy-first tech or advocate for sharper compliance tools around surveillance data use.
