With most California law enforcement agencies operating or planning to install automated license plate recognition systems, Attorney General Rob Bonta issued advisory bulletins Oct. 30 alerting officials to legal statutes regulating data collection, storage, and sharing policies and reminding them of obligations to ensure compliance with the law.
“As technology that helps us protect the public continues to advance, it is important that we put in place safeguards to ensure that this technology is used appropriately and lawfully,” Mr. Bonta said in a press release announcing the advisory. “While this technology may be a helpful investigative tool, Californians must be able to trust that their information is being kept safe.”
