LA County moves to limit license plate tracking, citing CalMatters report
The board aims to protect privacy by restricting federal immigration access and requiring yearly privacy training for deputies using 931 license plate readers, officials said.
- Recently, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted to ask the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department to more strictly regulate license plate data, protecting drivers' privacy in Los Angeles County.
- CalMatters reporting found some Los Angeles-area agencies shared license plate data with federal immigration agencies, and many rules mirror Senate Bill 274, vetoed by the governor earlier this month.
- The board ordered deletion of unflagged plate sightings after 60 days and requires deputies with access to license plate cameras to report policy changes by the county reporting deadline, January, with supervisors considering further action depending on Sheriff Robert Luna's response.
- Board Chair Kathryn Barger opposed the retention proposal, casting the lone 'nay' on SB 274 and saying it would endanger public safety and supports Governor Gavin Newsom's veto.
