Police in Lenexa, Kansas used automated license plate reader (ALPR) technology to pursue a man who wrote a critical op-ed about the police department, according to reporting by Kansas public radio station KCUR.
Writing op-eds is not a crime. Someone should tell police in Lenexa, Kansas, and suggest they read the First Amendment. Officers there criminally investigated a local man, including tracking his car, after he wrote an op-ed critical of the department.
