Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge joined a coalition of 20 state attorneys general in urging the United States Supreme Court to hear Lowery v. Joffe. The case stems from a 2010 class action lawsuit related to Google’s Street View cars collecting millions of consumers’ private data without consumers’ knowledge. Google and the trial lawyers who brought the case settled the suit and agreed to $13 million that lines the pockets of lawyers and liberal-interest organizations that have no connection to the lawsuit or consumers.

“When consumers are the victims, they should be compensated” said Attorney General Leslie Rutledge. “The Supreme Court should act quickly to make sure consumers, not lawyers and their liberal friends, are compensated.”

General Rutledge was joined in the brief by the attorneys general of Arizona, Alabama, Alaska, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, and Virginia.
