“Automated license plate readers (ALPRs) are mass surveillance.”
San Jose cops ran 261,711 plate searches in a year. That is 692 a day with no judge involved. A Goshen, Indiana officer searched 82,413 cameras and wrote “idk” in the reason field. A Texas cop ran 10,000 searches on his ex. The warrant requirement is the floor, not the fix. The fix is turning the cameras off.
