Police search transparency dashboard

Build a public database tracking unconstitutional search warrants by jurisdiction.

Why now

Growing judicial pushback against invasive digital searches creates need for accountability tools.

Who for
Civil rights organizations
Business model
Grant funding
Effort
A few months

Civil liberties groups need data to challenge unconstitutional digital searches. Aggregate court rulings and bodycam footage into a searchable database showing patterns by department.

Fund through nonprofit grants and legal firm subscriptions. Start with manual data entry of published cases.

Risk is police departments restricting access to records.
