Federal Court Calls License Plate Readers Mass Surveillance in Split Ruling
Original: As Federal Court Rules ALPRs are Mass Surveillance, EFF Gets Disappointing Ruling
A federal court has ruled that automated license plate readers (ALPRs) constitute mass surveillance, a win for privacy advocates. However, the same ruling delivered a setback to the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), which received a disappointing decision on its own arguments in the case. The decision highlights the ongoing legal tension over how far police and private companies can go in tracking drivers' movements, with civil liberties groups warning about pervasive location tracking.
Why now: A new federal ruling on ALPRs has mixed implications for privacy advocates, drawing attention from civil liberties watchers.
