You were recorded smoking marijuana, an illegal drug at the federal level.
You were recorded walking into an abortion clinic, although face recognition identified as a resident of a state where abortion is illegal.

There have been vigilante patrols in West Texas, watching the necessary routes out of the state. The law gives any resident the grounds to turn in their neighbor for planning to get an abortion.
