Should police need a warrant to search license plate camera databases?

Including searches that track where a car has been over days or months.

Comments

100%. Otherwise cops will absolutely abuse it.

Yep. Months of tracking can map out someone's entire life. Get a warrant.

Yes. Police shouldn't be able to dodge warrant requirements by paying a private company for access.

These databases also need a record of every search.

Agreed and those search records need to be made available to defense attorneys and outside auditors. Like some sort of independent watchdog.
