Oklahoma judge’s Flock ruling shows the power of Supreme Court’s digital evidence decision
Low
Summary
An Oklahoma judge ruled that law enforcement’s use of Flock’s ALPR system to track a driver’s movements over an extended period – even on public roads – constitutes an unconstitutional warrantless search. The ruling highlights concerns about the potential for mass surveillance and the need to protect citizens’ location histories. The case is one of the first to apply Chatrie’s principles to ALPR technology, and similar challenges are expected across the country.
