A police search of Flock producing 50 individual records of a woman's whereabouts across the country for an entire month violated her Fourth Amendment rights, Judge Sara E. Hill of Oklahoma's Northern District ruled yesterday. "Why is it the government’s business where everyone goes all the time?"

To be sure, ALPR technology does not provide the same precision in
location information as cell phones. But it could still reveal a lot about a
person’s whereabouts, and it is easy to imagine the kinds of sensitive
information it collects. It could track and log a couple struggling to start a family at the fertility clinic. It could show how often someone visits a liquor store or casino. It could show which doctor someone goes to or what lawyer’s office someone visits. It also collects mundane information about people’s commutes, but it collects a tremendous amount of such information all the time. It is possible that a dedicated team of law enforcement officers could

Case 4:26-cr-00189-SEH Document 62 Filed in USDC ND/OK on 10/01/26 Page 36 of 38

constitutionally collect this information about one car—and its driver—by following that vehicle on public roadways over a month. But this leaves the question of why is it the government’s business where everyone goes all the time? The government cannot go snooping through our personal lives and business without an adequate basis to do so. That is what the Supreme Court has said since its decision in Katz through its decision in Chatrie this year, nearly sixty years later. It is not too much to draw the line at indiscriminate mass surveillance.

So far, they're now giving away tickets to the RNC midterm convention in Dallas. Also, despite Secret Service closing down the DART station at Victory during the convention, the convention website still encourages people to take DART to Victory Station. www.dmagazine.com/frontburner/...
Note: If you are planning on attending from out of town and you found this, please be aware that the convention website wrongly encourages attendees to take DART to Victory Station. “Skip the traffic and arrive with ease by taking public transportation to the Republican National Committee Midterm Convention,”the website says. “The American Airlines Center is directly served by Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) light rail at Victory Station, Trinity Railway Express (TRE) commuter rail, and multiple bus routes, making it one of the most convenient ways to travel to and from the venue.” Definitely don’t do that, or you’ll be hiking in from the West End Station in the Texas heat.
