Judge rules police search via Flock cameras unconstitutional
Original: Judge rules police conducted unconstitutional search using Flock cameras
A judge has ruled that police conducted an unconstitutional search when they used Flock automated license plate reader cameras, finding the surveillance practice violated constitutional protections. The decision is drawing attention to the growing use of automated license plate recognition networks by law enforcement and raises questions about how much digital tracking of drivers is legally permissible without a warrant.
Why now: The ruling sets a precedent that could restrict police use of automated license plate reader surveillance nationwide.
