14. Releasing names without permission is an invasion of privacy and violates the 4th Amendment.

A hotel is not supposed to give out the names of their guests, just like they are not supposed to give out their home addresses or credit card numbers. The police do not have a warrant for this information and are violating the 4th Am prohibition against unreasonable search and seizure. This is unbelievable.

The hotels appear to be doing this to every single guest, whether the hotel has observed them committing a crime or not: "'We send a report every morning to ICE — all the names of everybody that comes in,' a front-desk clerk told the paper." I would sue the shit out of Motel 6 for giving my name to ICE/cops.
