Flock Cameras Violate Highway Safety Standards As Well As The Fourth Amendment

Source: Fleet Management Weekly

Most people don’t pay much attention to the hardware that holds up signs on the side of the road, but the Federal Highway Administration describes in explicit detail exactly what is, and isn’t, supposed to be there.

It defines a clear zone as “an unobstructed, traversable roadside area that allows a driver to stop safely, or regain control of a vehicle that has left the roadway.”

Many of the poles supporting Flock cameras violate not only our Fourth Amendment rights, but also highway safety standards. That makes them a physical hazard as well as a Constitutional one.
