EFF Calls for Warrants Before Police Search ALPR Data
Original: Require Police to Get a Warrant to Search ALPR Data
The Electronic Frontier Foundation is pushing for a legal requirement that police obtain a warrant before searching data from automatic license plate readers. ALPR systems sweep up vast location records of drivers, and civil liberties groups argue unrestricted searches of those databases enable mass surveillance. Debate centres on whether existing Fourth Amendment protections cover such data or new rules are needed.
Why now: Growing concern over mass surveillance and location tracking of ordinary drivers by law enforcement
