EPIC Files Amicus Brief Arguing City's Use of Flock ALPRs Violated Fourth Amendment

EPIC filed an amicus brief on April 20, 2026 in Schmidt v. City of Norfolk supporting plaintiff-appellants who challenged Norfolk's warrantless mass surveillance program. EPIC's brief argues ALPRs collect sensitive location data on people not suspected of any crime, aggregating it into searchable databases that capture vehicles, owners, drivers, associates, phone numbers, and criminal histories—creating a Fourth Amendment violation.
