俄克拉荷马州塔尔萨联邦法官Sara Hill裁定，警察助理在未获搜查令的情况下使用Flock Safety车牌识别系统搜索一名女性的车牌信息，违反了宪法第四修正案1。法官认为警察助理搜索该系统数据库时"没有明显理由"，仅因为该车辆持有加州车牌1。基于此搜索获得的所有证据（包括在车内发现的91磅冰毒）必须予以排除1。
法官在裁决书中指出，Flock系统"无差别地被动记录所有经过任何连接网络摄像头的车辆信息"，构成"无差别大规模监控"1。这是联邦法官首次裁定Flock搜索违宪。
该裁决已引发广泛的政策反应。佛罗里达州和得克萨斯州等多个州政府已表示将停止使用该技术1。参议员Bernie Sanders在周五提出《Block Flock Act》法案，旨在禁止联邦机构使用自动车牌识别系统1。Flock CEO Garretty Langley为被执法人员使用该系统跟踪的妇女道歉，并呼吁在隐私与安全之间寻求"妥协"1。
A federal judge in Tulsa, Oklahoma has ruled that a police aide's warrantless search of a woman's license plate information using Flock Safety's automated recognition system violated her Fourth Amendment rights.1 Judge Sara Hill determined that the search lacked any clear justification and was conducted solely because the vehicle bore California plates.1 The judge characterized Flock as engaging in "indiscriminate mass surveillance," noting that the system "indiscriminately and passively records information on all vehicles that pass any connected network camera."1 Consequently, all evidence obtained from the search—including 91 pounds of methamphetamine discovered in the vehicle—must be excluded as "fruit of the poisoned tree."1
This marks the first time a federal judge has ruled a Flock search unconstitutional, though the decision does not establish binding precedent.1 The ruling has prompted broader policy responses: multiple states including Florida and Texas have announced plans to discontinue use of the technology.1 In the legislative arena, Senator Bernie Sanders introduced the Block Flock Act on Friday, designed to prohibit federal agencies from using automated license plate recognition systems.1
Flock CEO Garretty Langley responded by apologizing to women tracked through enforcement use of the system and calling for a "compromise" between privacy and security concerns.1 Additionally, Flock has announced a voluntary employee buyout program to reduce its workforce.1
