# Tanner Hess
An Arkansas State Trooper whose incident report — quoted by the [[Federal Public Defender (Districts of Arkansas)|Federal Public Defender]] — admits using the ELSAG license plate reader system, contradicting ASP's "no LPR system" FOIA position.
## Role and affiliations
- [[Arkansas State Police]] — trooper.
## Appearances in the corpus
- [[Federal Public Defender FOIA and the No-LPR-System Position]] — the requester cites his report: *"Arkansas State Trooper Tanner Hess' report… He admits to using the ELSAG License plate reader system"* (Tier-1 corpus, `RE_ Freedom Of Information Request from Arkansas Federal Public Defender.msg`).
## Notes
He appears only via the Federal Public Defender's quotation of his report; the underlying report is not itself in the production. His documented ELSAG use is a load-bearing fact for [[T007 - ASP No-LPR-System Position vs Documented ELSAG Operation|T007]]. (A vehicle registration in the quoted report is withheld per surveillance-PII handling.)
