It’s a pipeline.
A routine DMV interaction → federal verification → centralized data systems → silent downstream consequences.

There’s also a pattern where major DOJ- or DHS-adjacent systems are rolled out via inter-agency agreements months before public notice, then formally announced later. Accountability only seems to kick in once financial or institutional risk surfaces — not at deployment.
Will be interesting to see who suddenly cares about the president’s weaponization of the Justice Department now that it might threaten their bottom line $$$

Voter ID isn’t just a rule—it’s a database dependency.

This isn’t about cameras. It’s about governance by database.

🚨 I traced how “local” license-plate cameras in places like Iowa and Texas are feeding a nationwide movement-tracking system that can link your car’s location history to financial records, property data, and more – long after your city says the data is deleted.
