King George III Prize NCLA's Director of Engagement, Clegg Ivey, joins the show to discuss with Mark and Vec the King George III Prize bracket contest.  NCLA is proud to launch The King George III Prize- a new campaign calling out the most egregious violations of our basic civil liberties by highlighting the people and institutions responsible for those abuses.  Join us as we thumb our noses at these runaway regulators, officious bureaucrats, and god-complex governors. Watch gleefully as we force them to battle it out head-to-head in tournament-style matchups. In the spirit of the madness that only March can bring, we've arranged our nominees into tournament-style brackets. Check out the brackets and cast your vote for the winner at https://nclalegal.org/king-george-iii-prize/.   Unconstitutional Surveillance  Later in the episode, Mark and Vec discuss license plate and motor car monitoring without warrants. Coral Gables is an upscale, historic municipality of Miami-Dade County, Florida. Residents take pride in their tree-lined streets and so they call it “City Beautiful.” But the city has now lined the streets with Automatic License Plate Readers (ALPRs).  NCLA is suing the City of Coral Gables as well as the Florida Department of State (FDOS) and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE), on behalf of long-time Coral Gables resident, Raul Mas Canosa. Mr. Mas Canosa says the city’s use of Automatic License Plate Readers, is a violation of Florida Law and Floridians’ Fourth Amendment rights to privacy.
