Schmidt v. Norfolk: ACLU and EFF File Fourth Circuit Amicus Brief

The ACLU, ACLU of Virginia, and EFF jointly filed an amicus brief in the Fourth Circuit on April 20, 2026 challenging Norfolk's use of Flock ALPRs. The brief argues the district court erred by ruling that Norfolk's 176-camera network was insufficient to track 'the whole' of a person's movements, and that warrantless mass surveillance violates the Fourth Amendment under Carpenter.
