MCLU Defends Privacy Rights of ATV Riders
Today, the Maine Civil Liberties Union Foundation filed an amicus curiae brief with the Maine Law Court in support of the Fourth Amendment rights of All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) riders. The case, Maine v. McKeen, involved an ATV rider who was stopped by a game warden without justification. The State claimed that Maine statute authorizes game wardens to detain ATV riders for any reason, but the Superior Court in Aroostook County said that game wardens were bound by the Fourth Amendment prohibition on “unreasonable search and seizure.” The State of Maine has appealed the order.
MCLU Investigates Maine Fusion Centers
In response to reports of significant domestic surveillance abuses across the country under the auspices of state-level “fusion centers”, the Maine Civil Liberties Union Foundation announced its investigation of Maine’s fusion center, the Maine Information Analysis Center (MIAC) today. The MCLU seeks information to ascertain whether Maine’s fusion center is complying with state and federal privacy laws and whether further civil liberties safeguards are needed.
