Massie And Burlison Move To Defund America's License-Plate Camera Network
The bill, H.R. 10221, gives agencies 180 days to remove funded license-plate and face-scanning cameras, joined by Democrat Ro Khanna.
- H.R. 10221 blocks federal money for plate readers, face scans, voiceprints, iris and gait scans.
- Agencies must rip out any federally funded systems within 180 days of passage.
- Ro Khanna, a California Democrat, joined five Republicans as original cosponsors.
Why it matters: Congress gives up cameras on citizens, but keeps the ones at the border and the ones that collect tolls.
