Judge rules Flock camera search unconstitutional, footage released

Original: Footage of the Flock search that a judge ruled was uncosntitutional

A judge has ruled that a search carried out using Flock's automated license plate reading cameras was unconstitutional, and footage of that search has now been made public. The ruling raises fresh questions about how law enforcement uses automated surveillance networks to track vehicles, and privacy advocates are highlighting the case as evidence that such dragnet tools can violate constitutional protections against unreasonable searches.

Why now: The release of actual footage from a search a judge deemed unconstitutional gives the public a rare concrete look at how Flock's surveillance system is used by police.
