特朗普政府正在利用一项20世纪80年代的禁毒拨款项目HIDTA（高强度毒品贩运区域），强制全国各城市将自动车牌识别摄像头数据汇入联邦政府服务器中的监控中心1。这些数据随后可被联邦、州和地方执法机构访问，部分信息还被共享到美国缉毒局运营的"国家车牌读者项目"1。该系统在缺乏公众监督和透明度的情况下，绕过了地方政府对数据使用的限制1。
目前有33个HIDTA项目覆盖美国全部50个州1。佐治亚州要求在州公路上部署车牌识别摄像头的城市必须与HIDTA签署数据共享协议1。休斯顿HIDTA向Recruitful LLC公司支付了306,800美元用于创建和维护相关数据库1。北卡罗来纳州Randolph County警长办公室表示所有数据保存在"联邦Houston-HIDTA数据库"中，不受《信息自由法》约束1。
特朗普政府在7月向HIDTA追加了2.77亿美元资金1。缉毒局在2024年12月的隐私影响评估中指出该系统"可能进行大规模个人旅行跟踪，对个人隐私构成风险"1。由于缉毒局主张对HIDTA记录没有保管权或控制权，这些记录不受公众记录法约束1。
The Trump administration is leveraging a decades-old drug enforcement funding program to force cities across the nation to feed their automatic license plate reader (ALPR) data into a centralized federal surveillance system 1. The program, known as HIDTA (High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas), originated in the 1980s as part of anti-narcotics efforts but now serves as a conduit for mass collection of vehicle location information 1. With 33 HIDTA projects operating across all 50 states, the initiative operates largely outside public oversight, as local governments' restrictions on data use are circumvented 1.
The collected data flows to a federal monitoring center accessible to federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies, with portions also shared to the Drug Enforcement Administration's "National License Plate Reader Program" 1. Georgia has mandated that cities deploying ALPR cameras on state highways sign data-sharing agreements with HIDTA, while North Carolina's Randolph County Sheriff's Office confirmed that all records are stored in the "federal Houston-HIDTA database" and are exempt from Freedom of Information Act requests because the DEA claims no custody or control over HIDTA records 1. The Houston HIDTA has paid Recruitful LLC $306,800 to create and maintain the license plate reader database 1.
The administration provided an additional $277 million in funding to HIDTA programs in July 1. According to a December 2024 privacy impact assessment by the DEA, the system "could perform large-scale personal travel tracking, posing risks to individual privacy" 1.
