THE AI ANGLE
Automated recording and retrospective searching of vehicle movements

The EFF and the ACLU petitioned the Wisconsin Supreme Court to require warrants for police searches of automated license plate reader databases. The challenge argues that historical vehicle tracking invades privacy and burdens protected gatherings like church services and protests. A ruling will clarify whether state constitutional protections require individualized suspicion before law enforcement searches aggregated travel records.
