This is a pretty crazy case: Oklahoma cops pull over a lady because she had California plates, then using flock they claim that her quick trip from Missouri to California and back looks like drug transporting and ask to search her car. She says no, and they say we are gonna do it anyway.

They end up finding a hundred pounds of meth, but a judge has now ruled that the evidence comes from an unconstitutional search and must be thrown out. The judge said:

"The factors that the government relies upon [to search Kyle’s vehicle] are the same type of circumstances that everyday Americans encounter on long road trips for many legitimate reasons. Many of us drive longer than we want to get to a desired destination, or to no destination at all other than the road and sights ahead. Many of us lose track of what exact day of the week it is when we are traveling, even if it is for just a moment. Many of us travel for myriad reasons (some better than others), cross state lines, pack too much, buy too much, smoke cigarettes, and rent cars. And many of us even get a bit nervous when talking to law enforcement.”

There's a pretty incredible map in the 404Media article that shows all the datapoints the cops had from Flock cameras and a Motorola license plate reader system called Vigilant:

I still don't see how legal decisions will save us from this future where all movements in public are tracked. But it's nice that a few judges might try to slow things down.
