Every great story requires the freedom to write it without being watched, profiled, or policed simply for who you are. PANA continuously fights to protect that freedom for our community.

Hearing SDPD say if people don't want their plates shared widely they can shop elsewhere is sbad faith when it is only a kpbs investigation that reveals the mall, Lowe's, and Home Depot sharing data.
San Diego County police agencies access many private license plate readers with minimal oversight
Dozens of businesses and homeowners associations around San Diego allow law enforcement to search through data from their license plate readers, including Home Depot, Lowe's, and local malls.

Flock lied about a Texas sheriff who searched Flock to track down a woman for an abortion. Flock asserted the woman was never under criminal investigation. Court documents showed Flock misled the public for months, accusing journalists of lying. #shutdownflock #whattheflock
Police Said They Surveilled Woman Who Had an Abortion for Her 'Safety.' Court Records Show They Considered Charging Her With a Crime
Court records show that the narrative Flock and a Texas Sheriff's Office has told the public isn't the whole story, and that police were conducting a 'death investigation' into the abortion.

This is judicial lawlessness masquerading as emergency relief…The Constitution may say “the people,” but the Supreme Court has decided some people are more equal than others—and they don’t even have to explain why.
