Dear Representative,

I am a constituent writing to ask you to oppose the use, expansion, or public funding of mass surveillance technologies in our community — including automated license plate readers (ALPR), facial recognition, gait recognition, and networked real-time crime center platforms.

These systems build detailed records of where people drive, gather, worship, seek medical care, and associate with others. They are often deployed without meaningful public oversight, and the data is routinely shared with private companies and other government agencies. The harms are well documented:

- Mass location and biometric tracking chills free speech and assembly
- These systems disproportionately harm marginalized communities
- Data is retained for years and is vulnerable to abuse, breaches, and mission creep
- Private vendors profit from selling our movements and identities back to the government

I ask that you:
- Oppose new contracts or expansions of ALPR, facial recognition, and fusion surveillance platforms
- Support strong data minimization, short retention windows, and public transparency requirements
- Prohibit warrantless sharing of surveillance data with third parties or federal agencies

For more background on the technologies and the vendors behind them, see: https://NoPanopticon.com

Please protect the privacy and civil liberties of your constituents.

If you are unable to reply by email, I am happy to discuss this by phone as well.

Sincerely,
[Your name]
[Your city or ZIP]
