Right Case, Wrong Time

Apparently in Tulsa, a federal judge has ruled that a Tulsa County deputy violated the Fourth Amendment by searching license plate reader databases for a month of a woman's travel history without a warrant.

So here we are, we've talked about flock and kind of put our two cents in there, but it continues to be a thing and people are still, I'm hearing stories here all the time, there's a lot of this going on, like people cutting down the cameras and stuff.

I'm going to spray my license plates with anti-reflective spray.

And yeah, just, oh my God, it goes on and on.

But there's been a lot of property damage.

But here's another one where we talked about, Sean alluded, it's funny to think that people are doing this to track women and stuff like that and vice versa maybe, but it's cops being stupid about it.

And I don't know...

What they what the well, this was law enforcement related.

I mean, he was he was doing it like related to a person who was a subject of an investigation.

But on October 1st, this U.S. district judge granted a motion to suppress evidence in the case against a lady named Melissa Kyle, who was facing a federal charge of possessing more than 500 grams of meth with intent with intent to distribute.

So what what this deputy did was he was this lady was driving a rental car.

Now, when I'm reading these first, you know, paragraph of this and they're talking about it's a month, she's driving a rental car.

He's tracking her movements, what she's charged with.

Obviously, this is not like you're, hey, I'm just, you know, randomly using flock or whatever.

This is like he's obviously using it in investigation of someone who's involved in drug trafficking.

So that's the sense that I get from that at the beginning.

But this judge wrote that he was following her rental vehicle with, quote, no apparent reason other than it's California license plate.

And he queried the flock and whatever LPRs, something like 50 locations from multiple states covering an entire month, according to... records and then stopped after this.

So there, to me, looking at it, like from the drug angle, there's a lot of, there's a lot of information that's missing.

There's a lot of

indicators there.

Right.

And yes.

And like all those indicators of, yeah, he was using this because he, He's trying to find where this lady is going and she's using a rental car for a reason, moving large quantities of methamphetamine.

And that's typically things that dope dealers do, especially high level.
