“While these systems can be useful for tracking stolen cars or wanted individuals, they are mostly used to track the movements of innocent people.”
Lee Schmidt and Crystal Arrington of Norfolk, Va., filed a lawsuit against the city and its police department in late Oct. that claims the use of Flock cameras is unconstitutional. “The City of Norfolk, Virginia, has installed a network of cameras that make it functionally impossible for people to drive anywhere without having their movements tracked, photographed, and stored in an AI-assisted database that enables the warrantless surveillance of their every move,” the complaint reads. “Nearly every day, they drive past the City’s automatic license plate readers as they go to work, to the store, to their kids’ schools, to church, or to meet friends and family.”
