# 2025-04 Federal Public Defender ALPR FOIA to ASP In April 2025, the [[Federal Public Defender (Districts of Arkansas)|Federal Public Defender]] (attorney [[Mike Schriver]]) pressed an Arkansas FOIA about ASP's ALPR use. After ASP responded that it *"does not 'have' a license plate reader system,"* Schriver contested that position on 2025-04-15, arguing A.C.A. § 12-12-1805 turns on *"use,"* and citing Trooper [[Tanner Hess]]'s report admitting ELSAG use. Internally, [[Ryan Roach]] and [[Mike Patterson]] routed the request to [[Dennis Overton]] for insight ([[Federal Public Defender FOIA and the No-LPR-System Position]]; Tier-1 corpus, `RE_ Freedom Of Information Request from Arkansas Federal Public Defender.msg`). ## Sources - [[Federal Public Defender FOIA and the No-LPR-System Position]] — `RE_ Freedom Of Information Request from Arkansas Federal Public Defender.msg`. ## Significance Documents defense-side (Sixth Amendment) discovery interest in ASP ALPR and anchors [[T007 - ASP No-LPR-System Position vs Documented ELSAG Operation|T007]] — ASP's "no LPR system" position against its documented ELSAG operation.
