The pattern is the point:
• Crypto ATMs → “fraud prevention”
• ALPR cameras → “local crime”
• Fusion centers → “sharing”
Different excuses. Same architecture: collect → retain → route → federate. 2/4🧵⬇️

Addition:
Following further document review, several states previously marked hybrid or unconfirmed are now verified as operating inside SAVE usage. The scope is broader—and more normalized—than initially visible.

This isn’t about cameras. It’s about governance by database.
When movement + financial + identity records merge, you don’t need warrants—you need access.

This didn’t grow organically. It was sequenced—law by law, vendor by vendor, state by state.
And the “30-day retention” promise? It collapses fast. In practice, data persists for years—and travels. 3/4🧵

If your city/state uses ALPRs or talks about “verification databases,” ask 3 questions:

1. Who can query it?

2. Where does data go next?

3. Retention after it leaves the vendor UI?

Here’s the stack.
Layer 1: street sensors.
Layer 2: national backbone.
Layer 3: state aggregation.
Layer 4: federal analytics/action.
When people argue about “one tool,” they miss the architecture.

This is the part that matters: data doesn’t stay local.
A state "clearinghouse" can turn normal transactions (licenses, benefits, rolls) into a routing layer—and suddenly “administrative” becomes enforcement-adjacent.

The human moment is always simple: a person at a counter.
The machinery behind it isn’t.
Top: “unverified status.”
Middle: the pipeline.
Bottom: the decision engine—where accountability goes to hide.

Iowa is a test case, not the headline.
This is what “modern governance” looks like when databases get linked: different agencies, one pipeline. If it can be built quietly in one state, it can be replicated anywhere.

Watch the pattern:
Distraction (public narrative shifts) → Build (backend integration) → Activation (data exchange goes live).
Big systems don’t arrive with sirens. They arrive with paperwork.

This is why I treat it like an evidence case, not a vibe: contracts, MOUs, FOIA docs, executive actions—paper trails that map the pipeline.
Sunlight isn’t decoration. It’s containment.
