Federal judge suppresses evidence after warrantless ALPR search by Tulsa County deputy ↗
In U.S. v. Kyle (N.D. Okla., order filed Oct. 1), Judge Sara E. Hill found a deputy's search of Flock and VehicleManager data — 50+ sightings over a month — before any observed violation was a warrantless Fourth Amendment search, and suppressed the evidence. The ruling applies to this case's facts and does not bar ALPR use generally.
