[This summary is temporary while we research the case]. A San Francisco resident filed a putative class action lawsuit on December 28, 2025, against the City and County of San Francisco, the San Francisco Police Department, and former interim Chief of Police in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The plaintiff alleged that defendants installed and operate a network of over 450 Flock automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras throughout San Francisco that photograph and track the movements of every vehicle passing them, creating a detailed record of drivers' movements stored in an AI-assisted database accessible to San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) officers without warrant requirements. The complaint further alleged that defendants unlawfully shared ALPR information with out-of-state law enforcement agencies, including at least 19 searches related to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, in violation of California law.
The plaintiff brought two claims: violation of Fourth Amendment rights under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for warrantless surveillance and violations of California Senate Bill 34 for unlawful sharing of ALPR information with out-of-state agencies. He sought class certification, declaratory and injunctive relief to cease camera operations and delete all collected data, and attorneys' fees.
This case is ongoing.
