Motorola class action lawsuit overview:
- Who: Plaintiff Charli Reyes filed a class action lawsuit against Motorola Solutions Inc.
- Why: Reyes claims Motorola violated privacy rights by operating a license plate recognition system that tracks individuals’ movements.
- Where: The Motorola class action lawsuit was filed in Illinois federal court.
A new class action lawsuit alleges Motorola Solutions violated privacy rights by operating an automated license plate recognition (ALPR) and vehicle tracking system that logs individuals’ movements.
Plaintiff Charli Reyes claims Motorola’s vehicle tracking system violates privacy rights because it tracks people without their knowledge or consent.
Reyes argues the ALPR system, which is used by law enforcement, educational institutions and other entities, “goes beyond basic license plate searches and alerts,” allowing users to review a vehicle’s location history and predict its future whereabouts.
“Motorola’s surveillance apparatus uses license plate recognition (LPR) systems, technology that tracks people’s movements by recognizing license plates and recording vehicles,” the Motorola class action lawsuit says.
Reyes wants to represent a nationwide class and California subclass of individuals whose vehicle tracking data was tracked by Motorola using LPR Systems cameras.
Motorola vehicle tracking violates Californians’ right to privacy, class action argues
The class action lawsuit claims, “Motorola does not notify [individuals] that its LPR Systems subject them to vehicle recordings, identification, location tracking, predictions and analyses of their movements, and other types of surveillance by law enforcement and corporations.”
Reyes claims Motorola is guilty of negligence per se and intrusion upon seclusion as well as violations of California’s ALPR Privacy Act and the California Constitution in regard to right to privacy.
The plaintiff demands a jury trial and requests declaratory and injunctive relief and an award of statutory, actual, compensatory, special, general, punitive and exemplary damages for himself and all class members.
The class action lawsuit comes after a similar complaint was filed against Motorola in Cook County, Illinois, in May that revolved around the company’s ALPR system, as reported by Law360.
A group of five consumers also filed a similar class action lawsuit against Home Depot earlier this year over claims the home improvement and construction supply retailer illegally used ALPR technology to track customers’ vehicles.
