The Open Road & the Watchful State

Automated License Plate Readers and the

Fight for Fourth Amendment Privacy

Across the country, cities are blanketing streets with high-speed cameras that scan and record the details of every passing car, storing millions of data points about where people go, when, and how often. Officials say that automatic license plate readers (ALPRs) make it easier for law enforcement to keep communities safe. But behind the promises of efficiency and public safety lies a deeper question: Should the government be able to track your every move without a warrant? 

Join the Institute for Justice (IJ) for a timely discussion on how this powerful technology collides with the Fourth Amendment’s protection against unreasonable searches and what lawyers, legislators, and members of the public can do to draw the line between legitimate law enforcement and unconstitutional surveillance. 

We thought you might be interested in this online webinar on Automatic License Plate Readers and the Fight for Fourth Amendment Privacy by the Institute for Justice on Tuesday, December 9 at 2pm ET.

Your Giving Keeps Us Going

2 Corinthians 9:11:

"You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God"

Every time we receive a donation, we do give thanks to God and we give thanks for you to God.

As we embrace this beautiful season, a time filled with faith, family, and the pure wonderment of community, I find myself reflecting on the dual nature of this time of year.

While I cherish the joy and togetherness that Halloween through Christmas brings, I also approach the topic of asking for funding to operate BBFL with a sense of apprehension.

It is uncomfortable to discuss money, yet the reality is that Building Blocks for Liberty relies on your tax deductible contributions to sustain our educational programs. We have always made it a priority to minimize our expenses, and I want to assure you that for over 12 years, not a single member of our dedicated team has taken a salary; our work is driven purely by a passion for education and civic engagement.

Your support is crucial, and every contribution you make is not just a donation, but a vital part of a collective effort that fosters constitutional literacy and empowers individuals to understand their rights and responsibilities.

Together, we can continue to inspire informed citizenship and encourage active participation in preserving liberty in our Republic for generations to come.
