Big Brother is watching you — but this homeowner made him back down
Last month, Charlie Wolf attended a meeting of the Greers Ferry, Ark., city council to complain about a license-plate camera that he said was violating the Fourth Amendment by regularly taking pictures of his driveway and front yard. Greers Ferry Police Chief Kallen Lacy acknowledged Wolf's 'distress' but rejected his legal analysis, saying 'over 5,000 cities' across the country use such cameras, 'so there is no constitutional violation there.' Despite Lacy's assurance, the widespread acceptance of automated license-plate readers as a crime-fighting tool only magnifies the privacy concerns they raise. They enable routine surveillance of a sort that would have troubled the Fourth Amendment's framers. 'Unlike red-light cameras or speed cameras that are triggered by specific violations,' the Institute for Justice notes, ALPRs 'photograph every vehicle that drives by and can use artificial intelligence to create a profile with identifying information that then gets stored in a massive database. 'Once that happens, officials can search the database for any vehicle they wish, all without a warrant.' Worse, 'departments around the country are automatically sharing data with each other, making it simple for police anywhere to track drivers' movements. 'All of this arbitrary discretion threatens people's privacy, security and freedom of movement by creating an atmosphere where everyone knows they are being watched and tracked whenever they hit the road.' Wolf's experience crystallizes these concerns. As he noted at the city council meeting, the camera that was installed across the street from his house on May 13 was photographing 'our yard, curtilage and vehicles' whenever a car passed by. 'We're being photographed and entered into a database without consent or violation of any law,' Wolf said. The camera captured images of Wolf and his wife whenever they left their home or returned to it. The camera also documented the comings and goings of the Wolfs' visitors, including their friends, children and grandchildren. Depending on the vagaries of traffic, it might record trips to the mailbox, kids playing in the yard or anything else happening in front of the house. Local officials initially were unfazed by the Wolfs' complaints, insisting that the camera, one of five installed in the tiny town under a contract with the ALPR company Flock Safety, would stay where it was. But they reconsidered after receiving a letter from Institute for Justice attorney Joshua Windham, who explained why the couple's objections deserved more respect than they had received. In 2018, Windham noted, the Supreme Court held that the FBI violated the Fourth Amendment when it collected cellphone location data without a warrant supported by probable cause. That ruling, he explained, was based on the principle that the Fourth Amendment 'must preserve at least as much privacy as Americans would have enjoyed when it was adopted.' Back then, Windham observed, 'police lacked the means to create a historical record of people's physical movements' because 'they simply did not have the manpower or the technology to do so.' He noted that a federal judge in Iowa and two state supreme courts have recognized that 'the placement of a surveillance camera in front of a home,' like tracking someone's movements via cellphone data, 'may violate a reasonable privacy expectation.'

Check out more newsletters The morning after Windham sent that letter, Greers Ferry officials posted a defense of ALPRs that read like a Flock press release. But by the end of the month, they had agreed to remove the camera that was spying on the Wolfs. That small victory for privacy was followed a week later by another encouraging development: Scarsdale, NY, terminated its ALPR contract with Flock Safety after more than 400 residents signed a petition expressing concern about 'the broad and lasting implications of deploying such a surveillance system.' The official rationale for the town's decision was lack of funding. But the criticism provoked by the project suggests Americans are beginning to recognize the perils of surrendering their privacy in the name of public safety.

NY man harassed slain CEO Brian Thompson's mourning wife, leaving her vile voicemails night he was allegedly killed by Luigi Mangione: feds
An Upstate New York man was charged Wednesday with sending threatening voicemails to the wife of slain UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson mere hours after his chilling murder on a Midtown sidewalk. Saratoga County resident Shane Daley, 40, gloated about Thompson's cold-blooded killing in three vile voicemails left on the work phone line of a Minnesota woman — who court papers make clear was Thompson's wife Paulette — on Dec.4, 2024, the night of his death. 'Your [family member] got lit the f–k up because he's a f–king asshole,' Daley said in one of the expletive-filled message, federal court papers allege. 'Profiting off the… backs of poor Americans.' Shane Daley harassed the family of slain healthcare CEO Brian Thompson just hours after his death, the feds say. Daley — who later conceded to an FBI agent that he'd been drinking when the calls were made — claimed in an unhinged message left three minutes later that Thompson's children deserved to die as well, according to a criminal complaint. Federal prosecutors in Albany and Manhattan did not identify the woman who received the calls by name, calling her 'Victim-1' in the filing. But the criminal complaint says that Daley, in his third voicemail that night, mocked Paulette Thompson's statement calling her husband 'an incredibly loving, generous, talented man who truly lived life to the fullest and touched so many lives.' 'The caller was mocking Victim-1's public statement regarding Thompson's murder,' the complaint reads. The Galway, NY man yet again called the mourning woman on the night of Dec.7, leaving a final voicemail wishing the Thompson family suffering and reiterating that the killed CEO 'deserved to f–king die,' court papers alleged. The feds traced the profane voicemails to Daley's phone, and an FBI agent who interviewed him recognized his voice from the messages, the criminal complaint reads. Thompson was fatally shot in Midtown on Dec. 4, 2024, on the morning of UnitedHealthcare's annual investor conference. Matthew McDermott Daley initially denied making the calls, but later 'asserted that he'd been drinking during that period and conceded that it was possible that he made such calls,' court papers say. Daley faces up to five years in prison if convicted of one count of felony cyberstalking. He made his first appearance in Albany federal court Wednesday afternoon in front of USMagistrate Judge Daniel J. Stewart. It was not immediately clear whether he had entered a plea. His attorney didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. Luigi Mangione, 27, was charged with Thompson's murder after a dramatic, days-long manhunt. Mangione is fatally shooting Thompson at close range on the morning of UnitedHealthcare's annual investor conference in what prosecutors call a targeted 'act of terror' meant to prompt public outcry about what the accused killer says is a predatory healthcare industry. He has pleaded not guilty. Christopher Raia, who runs the FBI's New York office, said in a statement Wednesday that 'the recurrent calls and messages in the days following Brian Thompson's murder were more than callous and cold-hearted harassment – they were threatening and terrified a family already suffering following the violent death of their loved one.' 'The FBI will continue to bring to justice any individual attempting to stalk and harass innocent Americans,' Raia said. Acting US Attorney for the Northern District John Sarcone, and interim US Attorney for the Southern District of New York Jay Clayton said in a joint statement that their offices collaborated on Daley's case.
