The government surveils you every time you drive through San Jose, collecting a trove of highly revealing data that police search thousands of times per month without ever seeking a warrant.
It’s an unchecked police power, an end run around judicial oversight and a blatant privacy invasion. It’s also a violation of the California Constitution.
That’s why we at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, with ACLU of Northern California, have sued the city, its police chief and its mayor. Warrantless searches like this violate your right to be free of unreasonable government searches under Article I, Section 13 of the California Constitution and your guarantee of privacy under Article I, Section 1.
