Suing under the state constitution, not the fourth amendment.

"Typically, when the government wants to conduct surveillance, they have to get a warrant; there has to be judicial authorization; they have to go to a judge and explain why they want to conduct surveillance, but not in this instance," MacRoberts said.

"Police have already abused this technology, they've already showed that they can't be trusted with it," he said. For example, these are just some of the cases KAKE News has covered in recent years across the state. Affidavit: Former Kansas detective used license plate cameras to stalk wife Kechi officer used license plate reader tech to track estranged wife, police say Sedgwick police chief tracked ex-girlfriend 164 times using license plate cams That's why MacRoberts says they're hoping to end warrantless surveillance of Flock cameras. "Mason is not suing for money; what he's doing is fighting back against Wichita's warrantless ALPR Dragnet Surveillance Program," MacRoberts said.

It is my understanding that if you’re in a public space, you forfeit all expectations of privacy

Pretty much. Everyone trying to squelch Nick Shirley finds out soon enough.

Glad to see at least someone is trying to fight the good fight. It won’t work, but I hope something changes because of stuff like this. It feels like It’s becoming a totalitarian police state sometimes.

You cant yell fire in a crowded theatre either. There has to be a line somewhere. yes, anyone can take your picture when you are out and about. Its very different when its some Baw on vacation from Taipei vs jackboot fricks tracking their wives or lovers as they go on about their day.

If your stance is "anything goes" once you step outside your home, then what goes on inside your home can for the most part be deduced. The aggregate of where you go and who you are with, at almost all times and over years, can reveal deeply personal shite. Your religious and political views, your health, your finances, your network of acquaintances, and on and on.

There is an enormous difference between *an* instance of you being out in public being known, and *every* instance of you being out in public being known, recorded, aggregated, and analyzed.

You are correct.

Government has to get a warrant to get that information.
This is freely searchable by anybody within a police department, at any time.

There has to be a happy medium somewhere.
When they are used to capture known criminals, or people in the process of committing crimes, then I'm totally fine with it. Or for monitoring traffic patterns where the identity of the cars being monitored is kept confidential and not recorded.
LEO using them for personal reasons is a no go, and they are obviously being caught and prosecuted for it.
But using personally identifiable data for commercial or "research" purposes should be banned. That concept is used in medical documentation. It is illegal to access or utilize PII (personally identifiable information).

It’s not.

Yall won’t butch when a family member is a victim of a violent crime and a LPR camera catches the Perp. A LPR helped find a neighbor with dementia who drove and got lost. Found her 40 miles away 20 minutes after being reported missing.
