Following 404 Media Investigation, Senator Demands Info About White House's License Plate Surveillance Program
Sen. Ron Wyden demands ONDCP release a 2024 MITRE privacy review of HIDTA license plate reader and cell phone surveillance programs.
Following a 404 Media investigation, Sen. Ron Wyden sent a letter to ONDCP director Sara Carter demanding publication of a 2024 MITRE privacy assessment of the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area program's surveillance systems. HIDTA aggregates license plate data from vendors like Flock, Axon, and Motorola by mirroring city databases onto federal systems under the White House's Office of National Drug Control Policy. Wyden said ONDCP refused to provide the report to his office and urged its release along with a separate ALPR analysis.
