Existing law prohibits the state, a city, a county, a city and county, or any agency or political subdivision of the state, a city, a county, or a city and county, including, but not limited to, a law enforcement agency, from selling, sharing, or transferring automated license plate recognition (ALPR) information, except to another public agency, and only as otherwise permitted by law. Existing law defines ALPR information as information or data collected through the use of an ALPR system.

This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation that would impose privacy protection requirements on cities, counties, and entities that use ALPR data and prohibit public agencies from selling or sharing ALPR information or information in collaboration with private contractors for the purposes of the arrest, imprisonment, detainment, or deportation for immigration enforcement purposes.
