THE AI ANGLE
Automated scanning and matching of vehicle location data

Civil liberties groups asked a federal appeals court to require warrants for police searches of automated license plate reader databases. The appeal follows a case where officers identified a robbery suspect by running open-ended queries across camera networks without a warrant. A ruling could reshape Fourth Amendment standards for historical location tracking in criminal investigations.

THE TEACHING ANGLE
