'Automated license plate readers, or ALPRs, are high-speed cameras mounted on light poles and police cars that capture license plate images of every passing vehicle. '

'At the same time, making license plate data available to researchers seeking to understand the privacy implications is itself a privacy risk. '

'EFF senior staff attorney Jennifer Lynch said the ruling demonstrates that the court recognizes the privacy implications of license plate data. '

'The ACLU contends [PDF] that indiscriminate license plate data harvesting presents a risk to civil liberties and privacy. '

'Regardless, license plate images can reveal where drivers go, which may point to the people they associate with and the kinds of activities they engage in. '
