A church group asks the Wisconsin Supreme Court to require warrants for plate-reader searches ↗
EFF and the ACLU of Wisconsin filed an original-action petition on behalf of the Wisconsin Council of Churches and a Green Bay pastor, asking the court to require a warrant before police search stored plate-reader data in Milwaukee, Racine, Kenosha and Green Bay. The filing argues that looking back through the databases reveals church attendance, counseling visits and other private activity.
