In April, the Texas Department of Public Safety (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Department_of_Public_Safety) told a reporter for the Dallas Morning News, inspired by information leaked by Wikileaks to ask about ways that the agency might be compromising citizen's privacy and other rights, that the TrapWire (https://www.trapwire.com/) behavioral analysis system employed in combination with surveillance equipment posted at various high-profile locations around the state had resulted in 44 arrests (http://www.dallasnews.com/investigations/watchdog/20150425-watchdog-is-dps-surveillance-detection-just-plain-spying.ece). However, after numerous public records requests for more information about those claimed arrests, the agency admitted that the true figure is somewhat lower: namely, zero (http://www.dallasnews.com/investigations/watchdog/20150618-dps-admits-it-told-state-lawmakers-about-phantom-arrests.ece)
