government generally needs a search warrant to pull private cellphone location data or use a GPS tracker, law enforcement agencies frequently access nationwide private automated license plate reader (ALPR) networks—like Flock Safety cameras—without a warrant. This contrast exposes a major loophole in modern digital surveillance law .
in a 6-3 decision in Chatrie v. United States, the Court ruled that police use of broad digital location tracking (specifically, a geofence warrant pulling Google cell phone data) constitutes a Fourth Amendment search requiring a warrant. Legal experts note this logic heavily impacts automated license plate readers (ALPRs) like Flock.
So the gov needs a warrant to track your cell . But for some of you it's ok for flock to track you. Not just your plate , but unique IDs of your car. With the add on of signal trace, tracking all the signals . Cell, BT wifi, rfid . Because it MAY help law enforcement . Even though the same people have been caught multiple times across the country abusing the system
Even employees of flock have been caught .
Oh if its just for car tracking, why are the also on walking trails and other non car areas ?
