"County supervisors voted Tuesday to approve a , introduced by Supervisor Hilda Solis, to beef up oversight of data gathered by law enforcement devices known as automated license plate readers. It's already illegal in California for local law enforcement agencies to share information gleaned from license plate readers with federal agencies such as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement without a warrant."
"It's already illegal in California for local law enforcement agencies to share information gleaned from license plate readers with federal agencies such as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement without a warrant. But after a summer of ramped-up deportations, the county supervisors decided to impose more transparency on who's requesting license plate data from the Sheriff's Department - and when the agency provides it."
Los Angeles County supervisors voted to increase oversight and transparency for data collected by automated license plate readers operated by the Sheriff's Department. The policy establishes that plate-reader data cannot be disclosed, transferred, or otherwise made available to immigration officials except when expressly required by law or when a warrant is presented. The change mandates clearer records of who requests data and when the department provides it. One supervisor, Kathryn Barger, cast the sole no vote, citing opposition to supporting a bill that would limit most license plate data retention to 60 days. The decision follows a period of intensified deportations and national reliance on plate-reader databases by law enforcement.
