Since 2023, they’ve conducted over 100 cross-state searches, sparking debate over privacy versus public safety. While law enforcement calls it vital for solving serious crimes, civil liberties groups warn of misuse—including false arrests and targeting vulnerable groups. Police claim compliance with state law, relying on regional networks like the New England State Police Information Network, but critics say the system operates in secrecy, exposing a legislative gap that lawmakers now must urgently address.
