Flock.

Enabling Accountability & Transparency
LPR Transparency Portal

Search & Audit Controls
✓Every search requires a registered ID & offense type
✓Saved securely in a permanent audit trail
✓Encouraging regular audits to ensure proper usage
✓ Proactive Audit Assist to flag misuse to administrators ALPRs and the Fourth Amendment
Courts across the country, including multiple federal
courts, have considered Fourth Amendment challenges
involving ALPR technology. The clear weight of judicial authority has upheld fixed location ALPR use under the
Fourth Amendment. (Congress)
✓Fixed cameras capture a single moment in time, not
continuous surveillance.
✓ALPRs observe vehicles in public, not people or
biometrics.
✓License plates are designed to be publicly visible.
✓Courts have repeatedly upheld fixed location ALPR
systems as consistent with the Fourth Amendment when
deployed with appropriate safeguards.
Representative Decisions
•United States v. Yang (9th Cir.)
•Commonwealth v. McCarthy (Mass.)
•State v. Simonson (Wash.)
•Schmidt v. City of Norfolk* (E.D. Va.)
•Commonwealth v. Church (Va. Ct. App.)
*Note: The court acknowledged a theoretical point at which an LPR system could implicate the Fourth Amendment, but found Norfolk’s network did not reach that threshold.
Note: The Supreme Court’s geofence ruling involved fundamentally different cell phone location data and did not address LPR technology or LPR searches.
