# Federal Public Defender (Districts of Arkansas)
The Federal Public Defender office (email domain `fd.org`) provides federal criminal-defense representation in Arkansas. In this production it appears as a FOIA requester probing ASP's ALPR use โ a defense-side accountability vector distinct from journalistic or citizen requesters.
## People
- [[Mike Schriver]] (`
[email protected]`) โ attorney; author of the statutory challenge to ASP's "no LPR system" position.
- James Pierce, Rose Riggs (`fd.org`) โ copied on the challenge.
## Roles in this corpus
- **ALPR FOIA requester and challenger.** Contested ASP's position that it *"does not 'have' a license plate reader system,"* arguing A.C.A. ยง 12-12-1805 turns on *"use,"* and cited Trooper [[Tanner Hess]]'s report admitting ELSAG use ([[Federal Public Defender FOIA and the No-LPR-System Position]]; Tier-1 corpus, `RE_ Freedom Of Information Request from Arkansas Federal Public Defender.msg`).
## Notes
The office acts in its official capacity; its attorneys' `fd.org` addresses are treated as citable conduct of office. Its statutory argument anchors [[T007 - ASP No-LPR-System Position vs Documented ELSAG Operation|T007]].
