NYPD X-ray vans
The New York City Police Department is reported to have a number of X-ray vans that contain X-ray equipment for inspecting vehicles.[1] They are described as being able to see into other vehicles using Z backscatter technology.[2]
The NYPD has refused to release details of the uses and operation of these vans.[3] The New York Civil Liberties Union have filed an amici curiae brief in support of a legal action by the journalist Michael Grabell, who is attempting to obtain more information about these vehicles.[1]
