GoKawiilJury awards Texas driver $76 over traffic stop based on license plate tracking tip
A federal jury sided with Alek Schott in his lawsuit against Bexar County and its sheriff, awarding him $76—one dollar for each minute he was detained. Schott was pulled over in March 2022 on a pretextual claim of lane drifting, but the real trigger was a WhatsApp tip from a contact with access to automated license plate reader data, who flagged his travel pattern as suspicious.
