Flock Cameras And The Fourth Amendment With Orin Kerr

Do you have a right to privacy on public roads? Eugene Volokh welcomes Hoover fellow and Stanford legal scholar Orin Kerr to discuss Flock cameras, the networked license plate readers fueling debate over police surveillance. They discuss how the Fourth Amendment applies to tracking people’s movements, whether police should need a warrant to search camera databases, and how to balance investigative benefits with the potential for abuse. They also consider what we still don’t know about these tools’ effectiveness in protecting public safety.
