The ask: The Dodge County Board should adopt an ordinance prohibiting county purchase, lease, or operation of networked ALPR systems (including Flock) and prohibiting county participation in multi-jurisdictional ALPR data-sharing agreements— protecting residents’ location privacy while remaining consistent with bipartisan warrant-and-oversight principles.

Privacy is not a left/right issue

Both civil-liberties groups and conservative constitutional litigators are raising the same concern: warrantless mass location tracking.

ACLU of Wisconsin / EFF

ACLU-WI says Flock remains “incredibly invasive” mass surveillance whose use “should require a warrant based on probable cause,” plus independent oversight— not police self-policing. EFF argues networked ALPRs are purpose-built to track everyone regardless of suspicion.

WILL (conservative / liberty)

The Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty sued Waukesha County and 11 municipalities (Sep 10, 2026), arguing warrantless Flock Location Database searches violate the Fourth Amendment and seeking a warrant requirement before searches.
