Can state police track drivers everywhere they go via hundreds of license plate cameras? A new lawsuit says that Illinois' widespread use of such cameras—called automatic license plate readers (ALPRs)—violates the Fourth Amendment's prohibition against unreasonable searches because it breaches citizens' reasonable expectations of privacy.

The topsy-turvy legal odyssey concerning a Michigan man's driving privileges, which has captivated the nation, took another turn yesterday when he reappeared in court not long after a video showed him behind the wheel of a car while he Zoomed into a hearing that was allegedly for driving with a suspended license charge.

"Black Tail" is up first, taking a few seconds to sniff her surroundings before placing her paw on a lever and zooming away. After storming to the finish line, she devours a well-earned Froot Loop hanging on a "treat tree."
