If you drive a car in California, you may be in for a payday thanks to a lawsuit alleging privacy violations by a Texas company.
The 2021 lawsuit, given class-action status in September, alleges that Digital Recognition Network is breaking a California law meant to regulate the use of automatic license plate readers. DRN, a Fort Worth-based company, uses plate-scanning cameras to create location data for people’s vehicles, then sells that data to marketers, car repossessors and insurers.
What’s particularly notable about the case is the size of the class. The court has established that if you’re a California resident whose license plate data was collected by DRN at least 15 times since June 2017, you’re a class member. The plaintiff’s legal team estimates that the tally includes about 23 million people, alleging that DRN cameras were mounted to cars on public roads. The case website lets Californians check whether their plates were scanned.
Let's not forget the idea of personal identification is to avert illegal activity.
Shut the fuck up you moron
The whole idea of of a license plate is identification
You cannot legally drive without one
