Many states including the Carolinas have a medical malpractice cap
The short version: This WBTV News segment covers medical malpractice damage caps in North Carolina and South Carolina, a topic outside our usual ALPR beat.
Our Take
This one's a swing and a miss for our usual lane. WBTV News out of Charlotte put together a straightforward explainer on medical malpractice damage caps — North Carolina's sitting around $713K, South Carolina around $596K — and it's solid local reporting on tort law, not license plate readers or Flock Safety cameras.
We won't pretend there's a hidden surveillance angle here just to have something to say. Credit to WBTV for clear, useful civic reporting on a topic that matters to patients and families navigating the legal system in the Carolinas.
If you came here looking for our actual beat — tracking the spread of automated license plate readers and holding police departments accountable for how they use them — check out our camera map to see what's been installed near you, and visit our take-action page if you want to push back on surveillance creep in your own town.
