Case 4:26-cr-00189-SEH Document 62 Filed in USDC ND/OK on 10/01/26
Before the Court is the Defendant’s Opposed Motion to Suppress, [ECF
No. 47], which the government has responded to, [ECF No. 50]. The Court
held an evidentiary hearing on Defendant’s motion, during which the Court
heard testimony from witnesses and admitted exhibits. The Court also heard
arguments from the parties. After considering the record and applicable law,
the Court grants the motion for the reasons explained in more detail below
(TLDR - the court finds the law enforcement's use of ALPR cameras here unconstitutional)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5qxrbubnhr4retqk7gomfczh/bafkreihknnjbqgkbc5ilzmimh3padjw27hyr3mdmllw6cym4gagjy3hsre)
![The use of the ALPR camera system described by Alaniz in this case
credibly invokes concerns raised in both Carpenter and Chatrie. Alaniz had
access to an entire month’s worth of location data tied to the license plate on
Kyle’s car, including more than fifty sightings across multiple states. [ECF
No. 50-3]. This is not the same fine-tuned level of detail that something like a
cell phone reveals about the whole of someone’s physical movements. But by
virtue of how ALPR technology works, Alaniz and other officers using these
systems have access to a continuously updated location history for all
vehicles caught on ALPR cameras within the network. This is a type of
indiscriminate mass surveillance. It is not targeted on a single individual, as
in Carpenter. It is a tool that collects information about all vehicles that pass
by any network-connected camera at all times, and it serves up the
information to law enforcement on demand.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5qxrbubnhr4retqk7gomfczh/bafkreidfynnelgyqcp57jzs3plagk54sq6r7xzbcjx56vrvuhjgguxu25e)
