Do you have a right to privacy on public roads? Eugene Volokh welcomes Hoover fellow and Stanford legal scholar Orin Kerr to discuss Flock cameras, the networked license plate readers fueling debate over police surveillance.

They also consider what we still don’t know about these tools’ effectiveness in protecting public safety.
