About this case

Civil rights groups filed a class action on behalf of New York residents alleging that Westchester County’s nearly 600 license plate readers create a warrantless and indiscriminate surveillance system that violates the state constitution. The lawsuit seeks an order stopping the program, which allegedly accumulated 1.6 billion plate scans and shared them with outside law enforcement agencies; the matter is at the filed-litigation stage.
