Lawsuit: City cameras make it impossible to drive anywhere without being tracked | Police use of automated license-plate reader cameras is being challenged in a lawsuit alleging that the cameras enable warrantless surveillance in violation of the Fourth Amendment.


“Every passing car is captured,” says 4th Amendment lawsuit against Norfolk, Va.

In a press release, the Institute for Justice claimed that "Norfolk has created a dragnet that allows the government to monitor everyone's day-to-day movements without a warrant or probable cause. The sort of tracking that would have taken days of effort, multiple officers, and significant resources just a decade ago now takes just a few mouse clicks. In its statement today, Flock said that "appellate and federal district courts in at least fourteen states have upheld the use of evidence from license plate readers as constitutional without requiring a warrant, as well as the 9th and 11th circuits."
