However, those organizers in cities large and small still face both a powerful industry and police departments determined to outfit their forces with the latest tech. It will take more than a single Supreme Court ruling to unravel the rapidly growing system of AI-powered mass surveillance.<\/p>\n<p>The Supreme Court  on June 29 that so-called \u201cgeofence\u201d requests issued by police departments to Big Tech companies for data from cellphones located within a certain geographical boundary at a specific time are considered a \u201csearch\u201d under the Fourth Amendment. In other words, cops are supposed to get a warrant from a judge before demanding that a cellphone company hand over the location data attached to all of its users who happened to be present near the scene of an alleged crime.<\/p>\n<p>While the Supreme Court did not mention ALPRs in their decision, experts say the ruling could have major implications for police searches of data gathered by cameras from surveillance companies like Flock on the street. ALPRs can identify a vehicle\u2019s location at a specific date and time as well as make, model, color, and identifying features such as dents, roof racks, and bumper stickers, often turning these into searchable data points, according to DeFlock.org.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe court is really focusing on the mass surveillance aspect of these technologies,\u201d said Michael Soyfer, an attorney with the Institute for Justice, in a call with reporters on July 8 in relation to the recent ruling.<\/p>\n<p>The Supreme Court case, <em>Chatrie v. United States<\/em><em>,<\/em> stems from a 2019 robbery at a credit union and the use of smartphone data to track down a suspect. Police asked Google for location data potentially going back months or years from all the cellphones in a specific area in and around the credit union, creating the digital \u201cgeofence.\u201d By a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court sent the case back to a lower court to consider whether the geofence request complied with the Fourth Amendment, which protects individuals from \u201cunreasonable\u201d searches and seizures by the government.<\/p>\n<p>Writing for the majority, Justice Elena Kagan argued that \u201c[a]n individual has a reasonable expectation of privacy in records about his cellphone\u2019s location, and police intrude on that constitutionally protected interest when they demand the information \u2014 even though for only a limited time, and from a third-party tech company.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Soyfer reiterated Kagan\u2019s point, stating that people have a reasonable expectation of privacy about their movements and daily routines, which can be tracked by police searching ALPR databases with powerful AI tools. Under <em>Chatrie, <\/em>defense attorneys can now argue that such searches violate the Fourth Amendment without a warrant from a judge. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cA tiny fraction of all the billions of data points these cameras capture across the country are relevant to any criminal investigation, and all of that data is held in a police database that lots of people can access,\u201d Soyfer said. \u201cIt\u2019s about police being able to go back in time and reconstruct someone\u2019s movements despite not having any reason to suspect them when the data was collected.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Stalking Cops and a Wave of Scandals<\/h2>\n<p>The ruling comes amid a wave of controversy and scandals involving ALPR cameras sold to local governments by the company Flock Safety and its competitors \u2014 including aggressive wrongful arrests, and multiple cases of cops using the cameras to stalk romantic partners. Across the country, people are packing into city council meetings to pepper leaders with questions about privacy or demand that ALPR cameras be taken down altogether.<\/p>\n<p>Shelby Leighton, a public interest attorney who organized against Flock cameras in her neighborhood of South Portland, Maine, said the Supreme Court ruling confirms what activists on the ground have been saying for months. However, the slow-moving legal system cannot keep up with rapid advances in technology, and courts often intervene only after police collect personal data without a warrant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you are tracking everywhere someone goes, that is a \u2018search\u2019 under the Fourth Amendment, and if police are accessing that data without a warrant, that violates people\u2019s constitutional rights,\u201d Leighton said in an interview. \u201cBut the decision also highlights the limitations of a legal approach to this problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While <em>Chatrie <\/em>involved cellphone data, Soyfer said the ruling will shape litigation over ALPRs, which scan every passing car for identifying information and allow police to track people\u2019s movements without a warrant. The Institute for Justice has filed lawsuits challenging ALPRs on behalf of residents of Norfolk, Virginia; and San Jose, California. More than 113,000 ALPRs operate nationwide in hundreds of cities; most are made by Flock Safety, though competitors such as Axon and Motorola Solutions also make license plate readers. At least 82 jurisdictions have canceled ALPR contracts or taken the cameras down.<\/p>\n<p>ALPR cameras feed massive, AI-powered databases that can be accessed by multiple law enforcement agencies with little oversight. As <em>Truthout <\/em>has reported, federal immigration police have used Flock data to arrest undocumented people despite assurances that ALPRs would not be used for President Donald Trump\u2019s immigration crackdown.<\/p>\n<p>Flock cameras reportedly collect more than 20 billion data points per month under contracts with roughly 5,000 police departments nationwide. With only about 240 million licensed drivers in the United States, that\u2019s \u201ca lot of data points per person, per month,\u201d Soyfer said.<\/p>\n<p>The Supreme Court\u2019s focus on surveillance comes as Flock Safety and the police and politicians promoting ALPRs come under mounting scrutiny. On July 2, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) released a damning report documenting how Flock Safety \u201chas lied about its operations, signaling a need for reputable governments to avoid working\u201d with the company.<\/p>\n<p>The report points to Oshkosh, Wisconsin, where dozens of residents have expressed concern at recent city council meetings about installing Flock Safety cameras around town. Responding to questions during a council meeting on April 21, Flock\u2019s chief information officer said the company\u2019s system did not create a \u201cpattern\u201d or \u201cheat map\u201d of an individual\u2019s movement by the tracking of their vehicles. The city council approved a contract with Flock the same day.<\/p>\n<p>The next morning, the people of Oshkosh \u201clearned that Flock had lied,\u201d according to the ACLU. Indeed, Flock cameras can create such \u201cheat maps\u201d capable of tracking individuals without a warrant. The city council reconvened later that day and voted to revoke the contract with Flock. ACLU Senior Policy Counsel Chad Marlow and Senior Policy Analyst Jay Stanley broke down the fallout:<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/smartmovinghome.com\/?p=910\">The Freedom of Information Act Is in Serious Trouble Under Trump<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Flock later admitted that its ALPR system does indeed produce a \u201cheat map\u201d that shows where \u201cpoint-in-time images have been captured of a vehicle\u201d for up to an entire month. However, the company chose to respond to the revocation of its contract by attacking the City of Oshkosh and its city council, complaining that Flock had \u201cnot [been] afforded the opportunity\u201d to explain its lie after being caught. Flock also sought to trivialize its factually inaccurate statement by categorizing it as \u201cone small misconception\u201d and referring to the dispute over the system\u2019s heat map tracking feature as \u201ca minor nuance.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In a statement to local media in Oshkosh, Flock Safety pushed back on the idea that its system can be used to track people, saying \u201cit does not create a pattern of life.\u201d Josh Thomas, a spokesperson for Flock Safety, told <em>Truthout <\/em>the ACLU report contains \u201cmisconceptions\u201d and \u201csimple errors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMoreover, misuse of any law enforcement tool is unacceptable,\u201d Thomas said in an email. \u201cThe [wrongful arrest] cases you cite are exactly why Flock builds our technology to include immutable, transparent audit trails, so rare cases of potential abuse can be detected, investigated, and addressed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thomas said every search conducted in the Flock system is \u201crecorded in an immutable audit log\u201d that includes the reason for the search, the user who performed the search, and the search parameters. However, Soyfer said there are often very few limits on who can get an account to access the data and what they can search for.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe see across the country that many of these databases are searched sometimes thousands of times a day by officers who will give the most vague, non-specific reason for searching, typing in \u2018criminal justice\u2019 or \u2018investigation\u2019 \u2026 and that has predictably led to a lot of abuse,\u201d Soyfer said.<\/p>\n<p>In many cities, data collected by Flock cameras or competing ALPRs is deleted after 30 days, but critics say that is plenty of time to build a profile of an individual\u2019s daily routine without a warrant. An investigation by the Institute for Justice found ALPRs located at sensitive locations, including an abortion clinic, a halfway house, an immigration attorney\u2019s office, a church, a gun range, and a mosque, among other locations. <\/p>\n<p>In the past, police have used ALPRs for immigration enforcement and to track a woman who was forced to flee the state of Texas to seek abortion care. Records show police followed the woman across multiple states after an ex-partner filed a report with police, who initiated a \u201cdeath investigation\u201d and considered charging the women with a crime.<\/p>\n<p>Facing embarrassing headlines, the local sheriff denied that ALPRs were being used to enforce Texas\u2019s draconian abortion ban, and Flock Safety initially called the story \u201cmisleading\u201d and \u201cclickbait.\u201d That sheriff has since been charged with lying to a grand jury and was indicted on felony counts in an unrelated sexual harassment and whistleblower retaliation case, according to the Electronic Frontier Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe audit processes these ALPR companies put in place are simply not being used. They are rarely, if ever, looked at after the fact,\u201d said Institute for Justice attorney Rob Frommer. \u201cA lot of states then double down and say those [searches] are not subject to the Freedom of Information Act or public information laws, so nobody can go back and look at what these officers were up to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The blowup in Oshkosh was not an isolated incident. According to Marlow and Stanley, it reflects \u201ca pattern of Flock regularly misleading or even lying about its business practices, safety record, commitment to privacy, and efforts to protect vulnerable populations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd as was the case in Oshkosh, Flock\u2019s lies are not just directed at the general public; they often specifically target Flock\u2019s potential government customers,\u201d they wrote.<\/p>\n<h2>Local Organizing to Cancel Flock<\/h2>\n<p>Leighton said Flock\u2019s record of dishonesty provides an opportunity for activists opposed to ALPRs. In her hometown of South Portland, Leighton said the city council received a presentation on Flock tools from local police and were horrified to learn that the system could track an individual across hundreds of locations. On June 11, the South Portland City Council voted to cancel its contract with Flock, effective immediately.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFlock is going around lying to police departments and cities, and so, to the extent organizers can draw attention to that, I think it can be a really powerful tool, because cities and police departments don\u2019t like being lied to either,\u201d Leighton said.<\/p>\n<p>Frommer said the Supreme Court decision in <em>Chatrie <\/em>does not give activists the power to take down ALPRs, but it does provide a powerful set of talking points for confronting city leaders and police chiefs who are eager to install high-tech surveillance systems.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can say that it runs against everybody, and it would allow the police to look up when I went to my doctor, or my church, or when I went to the gun range; that seems to be the kind of thing that is really concerning from a privacy perspective,\u201d Frommer said.<\/p>\n<p>However, Leighton said organizers cannot count on court rulings to protect the public from mass surveillance \u2014 and especially not from the hard right majority on the Supreme Court. Like the location data in <em>Chatrie, <\/em>legal challenges to ALPRs will likely involve cases where police already searched Flock databases without a warrant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, organizers have a very important role to play in making sure this data is not collected in the first place,\u201d Leighton said. \u201cThe way to prevent people\u2019s Fourth Amendment rights from being violated is to organize.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/smartmovinghome.com\/?p=908\">Bipartisan Housing Bill Could Speed Up New Construction After Major Disasters<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Organizers across the country are using every tool in their arsenal against Flock surveillance cameras.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":913,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-914","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interesting"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
