Federal judge flags warrantless Flock camera searches as possible 4th Amendment violation
Original: Federal judge rules warrantless Flock camera searches may violate 4th Amendment
A federal judge has ruled that law enforcement searches of Flock automated license plate camera networks without a warrant may violate the Fourth Amendment's protection against unreasonable searches. The decision raises fresh legal questions about police use of the rapidly expanding surveillance camera systems, and is likely to shape ongoing debates over privacy, geofenced data queries and the limits of warrantless investigative tools in the United States.
Why now: The ruling directly challenges a surveillance technology used by hundreds of US police agencies, sparking debate over privacy and policing powers.
