Class action seeks to shut down IL cops’ automated license plate readers – Cook County Record

"Defendants (police) are tracking anyone who drives to work in Cook County - or to school, or a grocery store, or a doctor’s office, or a pharmacy, or a political rally, or a romantic encounter, or family gathering - every day, without any reason to suspect anyone of anything, and are holding onto those whereabouts just in case they decide in the future that some citizen might be an appropriate target of law enforcement," the lawsuit says.

These are not just in Cook County. They are in Dupage County as well. Always a fine line between “Public Safety” and trampling on our Constitutional right to privacy. Also ripe for being used against innocent, law abiding citizens whom the powers that be do not agree with politically.

Where's Mine ???

Interesting that you have Liberty Justice fighting to ban license plate readers while you have politically opposite progressives fighting to ban Shot Spotter?
