The pushback against automated license plate readers is growing, and it's not just one organization driving the movement. Elected officials, civil rights groups and regular citizens are working together to get the technology removed in the Austin area.

Police officers in Amarillo have new protocol and policy related to the city’s automatic license plate reader cameras. This comes after a former Amarillo officer was fired and arrested, charged with 76 counts of tampering with government records when he was accused of abusing the city’s camera system. The Texas General Land Office announced yesterday that it is exploring possibly allowing small nuclear reactors as well geothermal and natural gas plants on state land.
