🚨Announcing Institute for Justice's newest campaign: The Plate Privacy Project🚨 We'll work with activists, state legislatures and in the courts to combat the pervasive, warrantless use of license plate reader cameras around the country. ij.org/press-release/…

Automatic license plate reader cameras are in more than 5,000 communities throughout the country, watching every vehicle that drives by and using artificial intelligence to create profiles that allow police to warrantlessly track drivers' movements. Many of these cameras are

US citizens across the country have been caught up in immigration raids, arrested, and detained. How do they get justice when their constitutional rights have been violated? Institute for Justice is taking on the case of veteran George Retes.

My friend and former co-counsel, John, has a great new video out on Institute for Justice case Schott v. Babb, which challenges unconstitutional stop-first, justify-later traffic stops and the use of police dogs as probable cause on four legs. windyjosh and Christie Hebert lead this one.

Sorry, also should have tagged the guy featured in the video, windyjosh who did all the things! And of course the Institute for Justice - it was a long day yesterday...

Last week, IJ launched the Plate Privacy Project—a nationwide campaign to push back against the arbitrary and unrestrained use of automatic license plate reader (#ALPR) cameras. Check it out here: plateprivacy.com

Denver Councilmember Sarah Parady said the more she learns about ALPR cameras, the more concerned she grows. "She's not the only one with concerns: Institute for Justice launched a nationwide campaign last month to halt the use of automatic license plate reader cameras" axios.com/local/denver/2…

Greatest job in the world, folks. Come work with us!

Another Institute for Justice win this week! A federal court has ruled that our client's lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of a Pennsylvania statute that permits waterways officers to warrantlessly search property can move forward. ij.org/press-release/…

I live in ALX and there’s a Flock spy camera right outside my neighborhood. I saw another recently while on a bike ride with Andrew Wimer. Can Alyia Gaskins or Alexandria Police please explain why the city needs to spy on me while I’m driving my son to daycare and going on bike rides?

A solid victory for the Fourth Amendment for Institute for Justice client in Pennsylvania who had a fish cop repeatedly trespass on his property and issue bogus citations.

My critique of today's misguided Supreme Court "shadow docket" ruling staying injunction against racial profiling in immigration enforcement. Ironically, J. Kavanaugh's rationale for decision is similar to left-wing justifications for affirmative action: reason.com/volokh/2025/09…

It really is insane that the ~free state of Texas~ just banned lab-grown meat. Blatantly violating the free market so they can do their friends in the agricultural industry a favor. So much freedom.
