Sara Jacobs
Role at the time: U.S. representative for California's 51st Congressional District, speaking in a video published by her office.
Statement summary
In an August 14 video, Sara Jacobs criticized abortion surveillance and identified Flock cameras as systems that make it easier to track women seeking abortions and people helping them across state lines. She urged Congress to pass her Safer Health Act and My Body, My Data Act.
“The abortion surveillance state is already in place and causing serious harm.”
Jacobs's official channel published this video on August 14. At 01:06 she names Flock cameras as surveillance systems used to track abortion-related travel. She criticizes that surveillance and then urges Congress to pass reproductive-data privacy legislation.
Why we used this label
Jacobs expressly criticizes surveillance of abortion-related travel and names Flock cameras in that discussion. She supports reproductive-data privacy legislation but specifies no separate remedy for license-plate camera networks.
