佐治亚州近95.5万美元儿童福利监控车将移交州调查局 隐私争议引关注
佐治亚州人类服务部已批准以954,577.55美元购置一辆2026款雪佛兰Traverse运动型多用途车，车上装有可识别附近手机设备的基站模拟技术；州长布赖恩·坎普办公室表示，车辆交付后将由佐治亚州调查局（GBI）接管并负责操作。根据州采购记录，这辆车原定供家庭与儿童服务部下属的特别受害者部门使用；车辆本身经州车队折扣后价格为38,705.25美元，而发票显示蜂窝技术套件费用高达890,478.80美元，安装费用为25,393.50美元。
采购记录显示，该设备为Nyxcell系统，其工作原理是模拟手机信号塔，吸引附近手机连接并收集设备标识符和元数据。在两党议员对宪法保障和监督机制提出质疑后，州长办公室作出由州调查局接管的决定，并称州政府目前尚未收到这辆车。
安全与隐私专家警告，这类系统也可能收集并非调查对象者的信息；电子前沿基金会高级技术专家库珀·昆廷表示，这种技术可能构成对周边人群的广泛搜查，应仅在持有搜查令的情况下使用。在儿童寄养服务面临预算压力的背景下，这笔近百万美元的监控设备采购及其后续使用规则，预计将继续受到州议员和隐私倡导者的审视。
Georgia to Transfer $954,577 Child Welfare Surveillance Vehicle Program to GBI, Drawing Privacy Questions
Georgia is transferring a child welfare surveillance vehicle program valued at $954,577.55 to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, a move that has drawn privacy scrutiny. State documents put the vehicle itself at $38,705.25, with the cellular surveillance suite priced at $890,478.80 and installation at $25,393.50; the system, supplied by Nyxcell, was obtained for child welfare investigations.
Cooper Quintin of the Electronic Frontier Foundation questioned the breadth of the cellular surveillance capability and the oversight attached to it. State officials say the equipment supports investigations into child exploitation and trafficking.
The state has not yet taken delivery of the vehicle. The transfer shifts operation of the system from the child welfare agency to the GBI, the state's investigative bureau.
