据与Semafor分享的一封信件显示，联邦调查局（FBI）计划获取全国自动车牌识别系统（ALPR）的访问权限，此举正受到众议院民主党人的审视。
The FBI’s plans to acquire nationwide access to automatic license plate readers faces scrutiny from House Democrats, according to a letter shared with Semafor.
众议院监督委员会负责联邦执法事务小组委员会的民主党首席代表、得克萨斯州众议员格雷格·卡萨尔（Greg Casar）写道：“FBI计划直接获取这一庞大摄像头网络的访问权限，增加了美国人大量数据被滥用的风险。
该委员会要求FBI提供相关信息，以协助其监督执法部门对ALPR数据的使用。”
“The FBI’s plan to obtain direct access to this extensive network of cameras raises the risk of substantial abuses of Americans’ data. The Committee requests information from the FBI to assist its oversight of law enforcement’s use of ALPR data,” wrote Rep. Greg Casar, D-Texas, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee subpanel overseeing federal law enforcement.
卡萨尔表示，他担心Flock等颇具争议的公司可能会与摩托罗拉解决方案（Motorola Solutions）一同参与该合同的竞标。
Casar expressed concern that controversial companies like Flock might be among those bidding for the contract, along with Motorola Solutions.
尽管FBI没有义务回复这封由民主党主导的信件，但它释放了一个信号：如果民主党赢得众议院多数席位，未来可能会展开相关调查。
Although the FBI is under no obligation to respond to the Democratic-led letter, it sends a signal about future investigations if Democrats win the House majority.
民主党人还认为，公众对监控的反对可能会促使与共和党达成两党共识的解决方案。
Democrats also believe public pushback against surveillance could lead to bipartisan solutions with Republicans.
