• Greers Ferry, Arkansas, removed a Flock Safety ALPR camera that was photographing a homeowner’s driveway and yard after his Fourth Amendment complaint and an Institute for Justice legal outreach.
• Scarsdale, New York, terminated its Flock Safety contract following a petition by more than 400 residents concerned about mass surveillance and data retention.
• The Institute for Justice announced the Plate Privacy Project to push state legislation, equip grassroots activists, and press Fourth Amendment claims against warrantless ALPR data collection.
• In Norfolk, Virginia, a federal lawsuit argues that police access Flock Safety data without probable cause or warrants; a judge recently denied a motion to dismiss, allowing the case to move forward.
• Privacy advocates caution that AI-powered ALPR networks and interagency data sharing build searchable vehicle-location databases that may infringe on constitutional protections.
