Vote like the Bill of Rights depended on it.
The government is building files on all of us.
I know… because I asked for mine.
➡️ Arizona lawmakers are pushing two bills that would expand AI-powered license plate reader surveillance. These are cameras that track vehicles, log locations, and store that data for inconsistent lengths of time in towns and cities across the state.
➡️ Last fall, I filed public records requests to see what the government had stored about my cars.
What I learned changed everything.
Some of the data returned to me included license plates and vehicles tied to my identity that are not mine.
➡️ In November 2025, Flock Safety declined my request for an interview, and in December 2025, I contacted the company asking to correct inaccurate data tied to me but did not receive a response.
🚨 I wholeheartedly support law enforcement. They're understaffed and have an impossible job. Tech tools like license plate readers can help solve real crimes.
But no system is perfect.
AI can get it wrong.
And right now, policy is being made city by city — and at the state level through SB1111 and SB1138 — without giving citizens a meaningful ability to see this data, challenge it, or correct it.
That should concern everyone. This is why I’m speaking out. #azleg

I was just sent this, taken minutes ago. This is Talaquepaque in Sedona, Arizona.
That is insane. Its going to get worse, once it breaks above that bank. Its gonna flood the galleries. That is about yeah 25 feet above the creek, usually. Its bad.
The New Age Center is in trouble already. God help everyone down there.... Im just a half mile up the hill, out of the flood plain.
More rain coming, too. YIKES!
All that publicity.... Wow.
After canceling Flock, citing 4A concerns, Pinal County AZ Sheriff @RossTeeple is now soliciting bids for a replacement ALPR system. When he told Congress “never,” what he apparently meant to say was, “in five weeks.”
ALT Photo of a computer screen displaying text that reads: "Following discussions with Sheriff Teeple PCSO would like to inform Insight and or Flock that we intend not to renew our two contracts for the 45 ALPR devices on 9/28/2026. Attached is last year's one-year term for both contracts. Instead we will begin the SOW/RFP for the Fixed ALPR system. Thank You, Matthew DiMuzio Director of Information Technology, Pinal County Sheriff's Office"
Holy cow. Costco is packed.
Something about Pokémon.
That said, got to see all the growth in Buckeye near Verrado. Wow. Well done.

Who decides what you get to see online?
Who decides what is "harmful?"
This is the section the judges will be reviewing to possibly unblock from TX SCOPE Act: a filter strategy to keep minors away from content “that promotes, glorifies, or facilitates” suicide, self-harm, eating disorders, substance abuse, bullying, and more.
The law does not define these "harmful materials", which leaves it open to perception...and most concerningly, expansion based on the ideology and agenda of whoever holds power.
Letting the trick-or-treaters who are braving this rain to take as much candy and treats as they want… You’re only little for a few short years. This was one of our family’s most favorite days of the year when my girl was growing up. Hoping to give a little joy to the families making the best of the night. 🎃

What Jim Dean and the AIA did tonight was despicable. A lifetime of memories, family in town, rivalry wins potentially sealed in the hearts and minds of kids forever, potential undefeated seasons - taken away because of “bylaws” & you want playoff pairings done at a certain time?
🚨 SCOTTSDALE: Last year, I broke news about the city’s legislative agenda.
Now, Scottsdale’s proposed 2027 agenda includes support for public safety technology, including its “responsible and transparent use.”
The city also wants to leverage technology to fight crime.
City Council takes up the agenda Nov. 10.
Must watch. 👇
🚨 Excellent work from FOIAzona.
EXCLUSIVE 🚨
State Rep Mariana Sandoval (D) was caught wrong-way driving in late 2024. Bodycam footage shows her warning officers she's a lawmaker and threatening to call the police chief.
She hired @JulieGunnigle as her lawyer. They lost.

This is who Speaker Montenegro Appointed to the Tax Code Commission. Listen.
A councilmember from the city that keeps giving itself taxpayer-funded raises?!??

✅Speaker Montenegro Appoints Goodyear Councilwoman Vicki Gillis to Municipal Tax Code Commission
Appointment follows Auditor General findings raising concerns about transparency and accountability
“Arizona families are working hard to manage the cost of living, and government should not create additional uncertainty or costs through administrative expansions of the sales tax. The Commission must follow state law, restore public confidence in its process, and ensure that any proposed changes receive the scrutiny and transparency required by statute. I expect this appointment to help reinforce those principles and keep the interests of Arizona taxpayers at the forefront.” -@AZHouseGOP Speaker @SteveMontenegro

Politicians on committees hear secrets you don’t. One of these politicians sounded the alarm about VPNs.
Is the US government running a dragnet on VPN users?
🤦🏻♀️
Democrat @KrisMayes said she wants to get rid of Arizona's golf courses in order to stop global warming.
Now she's a worldwide laughing stock and the front-page punchline ("how to lose an election") at Golf.com. #AZAG
