Judge questions warrantless searches of Flock camera network
Original: Federal judge rules warrantless Flock camera searches may violate 4th Amendment
A federal judge has ruled that police searches of Flock Safety's automated license plate camera network without a warrant may violate the Fourth Amendment's protection against unreasonable searches. The decision raises questions about the legality of law enforcement using the nationwide camera system to track vehicles without judicial authorization. The ruling is expected to fuel ongoing debate over privacy and police surveillance powers.
Why now: The ruling could curtail how police use a rapidly expanding surveillance camera network, touching concerns about privacy and Fourth Amendment rights.
