Flock Safety and Fourth Amendment | Charleston News
Description
Huntington just approved a $2.1 million surveillance tech deal—complete with license-plate readers, drones, and audio detection—that’s sparking a national debate: does this violate your Fourth Amendment rights? While seeing a license plate is fine, when tech collects millions of them into searchable databases tracking your every move, the line between safety and invasion of privacy blurs. The Supreme Court recently sided with privacy in a cellphone case, setting a precedent that even “passive” data collection is protected. This isn’t just about catching criminals—it’s about whether the government can legally sweep up your life without suspicion. Good intentions won’t override constitutional limits. Huntington’s move could set a dangerous precedent.
