BREAKING: FEDERAL JUDGE RULES COPS USING FLOCK CAMERAS TO TRACK DRIVER FOR WEEKS WITHOUT A WARRANT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL! A Federal Judge In Oklahoma Just Ruled That Police Violated Constitutional Rights When They Used Flock Cameras To Pull A Driver’s Travel History Without A Warrant. On October 1, 2026, The U.S. District Court For The Northern District Of Oklahoma Threw Out Evidence In United States V. Melisa Susan Kyle. The Court Said A Warrantless Search Of Flock & Another Plate-Reader System Was An Illegal Search Under The Fourth Amendment. Tulsa County Deputy Freddie Alaniz Looked Up A California Plate During A Traffic Stop. The Search Returned More Than 50 Sightings Over At Least 30 Days In Many States. The Record Showed The Car Leaving Locust Grove, Oklahoma, Heading Toward The California & Arizona Border, Then Turning Back Toward Missouri. Here Is How The System Works. Cameras On Patrol Cars & Fixed Spots Snap License Plates. They Log The Date, The Time, & The Place. Officers Can Then Search That Stored History Across The Country. In This Case The Deputy Typed In Reasons Like “Traffic Violation” & “Investigation” & Got Weeks Of Movement Data. He Did Not Have A Warrant. He Did Not Have Probable Cause For That Search. The Judge Said People Have A Real Privacy Right In That Long Record Of Where They Go, Even On Public Roads. Older Cases Let Police Watch One Car On One Trip. This Is Different. The Court Called It Indiscriminate Mass Surveillance On A Dragnet Scale. Modern Plate Readers Can Follow A Car Across States For Weeks. That Kind Of Tracking Needs A Warrant. The Stop Itself Started Lawfully. The Deputy Said The Car Followed Another Vehicle Too Closely, About 30 Feet, Which Can Break Oklahoma Traffic Law. But The Court Said He Had No Good Reason To Hold The Driver After He Gave Back The License & Papers. He Kept Her To Run A Drug Dog. Nervousness, A Rental Car, Luggage, & A Short Trip Did Not Add Up To Real Suspicion Of A Crime. Because Both The Extra Detention & The Plate-Reader Search Were Unlawful, The Court Suppressed What Came After Them. That Includes The Later Vehicle Search & Statements. The Judge Said No Exception Saved The Evidence. This Order Does Not Shut The Cameras Off. It Says Searching The Stored History Of An American’s Drives, With No Warrant, Violates The Constitution. The Case Number Is 26-CR-00189-SEH.

🚨🚨BREAKING: Federal Judge Rules a Flock Search Was ‘Indiscriminate Mass Surveillance’ and Unconstitutional ----- As in the Supreme Court case Carpenter v. United States, the Federal court found that people have a reasonable expectation of privacy in their movements and that Flock violated those rights. This is a victory for us. Yes, we want to remove the cameras altogether, and we will keep working to do so, but if the courts want to impose additional restrictions on their use in the meantime, that can only be a good thing.

The Flock-o-matic! This is pretty amazing. This system detects Flock camera signals, so that when you drive by a Flock camera, the device automatically blocks your license plate. Once you're out of range, your plate visibility returns to normal. I'm almost certain this is illegal to do, so I'm not recommending you do it, but I will certainly be looking for the follow-up video so we can see how it's done - for informational purposes only, of course. 😈 Source: https://t.co/lOHpMFIIul

WOW 🚨 School districts all over America are paying for surveillance on students “School districts are turning to increasingly invasive tactics to police where families live, from license plate reader cameras to private investigators conducting surveillance” School districts are using taxpayer money to pay as much as $9,000+ per student to put the student and their families under surveillance They are doing this because it can cost around $20,000 per student to educate, and if a student is going to not live in the district then they may not get paid for that student So school districts are turning to private surveillance companies to track kids and parents locations If families are found to not be in the right district, they are kicked out of school and even sent a bill for the time they were there The private consulting companies are claiming they can save these school districts hundreds of thousands of dollars by putting kids under surveillance This is insane I tried to get a full list of states that do this and I was able to come up with at least 8. So if your are in one of these states you’re at risk Illinois California Pennsylvania Georgia Ohio Alabama Missouri Some of these states have programs so extensive that nearly a quarter of all school districts use tactics like this
