Judge rules automated license plate search violated Fourth Amendment
Original: 'Indiscriminate mass surveillance': Judge says ALPR search violated Fourth Amendment in meth case
A judge has ruled that a search using automated license plate reader data violated the Fourth Amendment in an Oklahoma methamphetamine case, describing the practice as 'indiscriminate mass surveillance'. The decision raises questions about how law enforcement can use ALPR databases that track drivers' movements, and could affect prosecutions built on such surveillance data.
Why now: The ruling limits a widely used policing technology and could set a precedent for privacy and surveillance cases.
