EFF Urges Wisconsin Supreme Court to End Warrantless License Plate Reader Searches

Original: We’re Asking the Wisconsin Supreme Court to End Warrantless ALPR Searches

The Electronic Frontier Foundation has asked the Wisconsin Supreme Court to rule that police must obtain a warrant before searching automatic license plate reader (ALPR) databases. The group argues that warrantless queries of systems that track drivers' locations violate privacy rights. The case will test how far location-tracking surveillance technology can be used without judicial oversight in Wisconsin.

Why now: The court is being asked to set a precedent on police use of location-tracking license plate reader data, a pressing digital privacy issue.
