In an age when it seems every house has a Ring-style doorbell, every business has closed circuit cameras both inside and out, it seems almost futile to argue that drivers shouldn’t expect to go through a digital license plate line-up every time they leave their driveways.
Yet two modern day Don Quixote-types are saying just that. They’ve filed a lawsuit in federal court arguing that Norfolk’s ubiquitous Flock license plate cameras violate the 4th Amendment.
Need a refresher?
Fourth Amendment:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
