The ACLU of Minnesota expressed disappointment in the Minnesota's state House of Representatives today after they voted today to pass House File 3863 which would legalize the use of "Photo Cop" cameras to police intersections. The ACLU-MN submitted testimony against this bill, in their "Photo Cop Statement" they argued these cameras intrude on our fundamental right to privacy.

The ACLU-MN has been a long opponent of the photo cop camera systems. They won a case against the City Of Minneapolis that forced the City of Minneapolis to stop using their cameras.
