"The mass collection of such data for weeks on end creates the potential for abuse. Plaintiffs haven't done anything wrong, and their movements are being compiled in this massive government database where officers can search them without a warrant or probable cause."
"The city's automated license plate reader cameras are only mounted in public areas and take pictures of vehicles as they drive on public streets and pass in view of the camera."
A federal class action lawsuit has been filed by San Jose residents against the city's automated license plate reader program, which utilizes 474 cameras to collect millions of license plate images monthly. The plaintiffs argue that the program infringes on their Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable searches and seizures. They seek to limit data retention to 24 hours unless a warrant is obtained. The city maintains that the program complies with legal standards and protects privacy rights, as cameras only capture images in public areas.
