A Tale of Two Bills: Lawful Access Returns With Changes to Warrantless Access But Dangerous Backdoor Surveillance Risks Remain - Michael Geist -

The use of Flock cameras is once again generating controversy Anybody can see your license plate as you drive by. Whether police should be able to access a database that includes a searchable history of where that plate has been is a different question entirely. Now, whether or not police can do so without a warrant is about to go before a court in Texas. At the center of the fight is an armed robbery case that has sent a man to prison for 60 years. As The Texas Tribune reports, Charles Brownlee is challenging his conviction and 60-year sentence after investigators used records from fast-spreading Flock cameras to connect him with five armed robberies around Dallas-Fort Worth in 2024.

The National Park Service has revised its plans to redevelop the Tidal Basin region of the National Mall in Washington, DC. The plan zeroes in on West Potomac Park, which Trump picked in May as his preferred site for the planned National Garden of American Heroes. One leading historic preservationist interpreted the plan as a way to create space for the project, reports the Washington Post. “The plan that we saw is really about making the space for the Garden of Heroes,” Charles A. Birnbaum, founding president and CEO of the nonprofit Cultural Landscape Foundation, told the paper, adding that, however, “the Garden of Heroes is not included in the plan” and that it “feels like a placeholder for something else that’s going to be inserted.” The Cultural Landscape Foundation, headquartered in DC, was established in 1998 to educate the public about the nation’s shared landscape heritage. It calls attention to threatened sites and gives a biennial $100,000 landscape architecture prize.
