EFF Calls for Warrant Requirement for Police Searches of ALPR Data
Original: Require Police to Get a Warrant to Search ALPR Data
The Electronic Frontier Foundation is urging lawmakers to require police to obtain a warrant before searching data from automated license plate readers. The group argues that ALPR systems log drivers' locations on a massive scale, and that letting officers query these databases without judicial oversight enables dragnet surveillance of ordinary people's movements. The push comes amid growing concern in the United States over location tracking by law enforcement.
