for those wondering, this cost us about $500 + a full day of someone's time to get, even though it was entered into evidence in a court case months ago. Still crazy to me that we have to pay for court records and in many cases you have to physically go there to get them

Last night, I was re-reading some of my own coverage of license plate readers from the early 2010s (before Flock was founded). I re-read this slide from the National Institute of Justice (DOJ) in 2010. web.archive.org/web/20100611...

This is quite a disappointing decision but I am hopeful that the courts will eventually decide that warrantless mass surveillance is in fact a violation of the 4th Amendment. 🤞
