Police Increasingly Towing Teslas to Access Crime Scene Footage

Law enforcement leverages Tesla's Sentry Mode, raising concerns about privacy and surveillance overreach.

Tesla's Sentry Mode records external footage, often capturing nearby crimes.
Police are obtaining warrants to tow Teslas for potential evidence, even if owners are uninvolved.
Cases in Oakland highlight the trend, with multiple Teslas towed in recent months.
Civil rights groups argue this practice puts uninvolved individuals under undue scrutiny.
The trend may expand as more vehicles adopt similar surveillance technologies.
