The EFF and ACLU letter lists 35 specific police agencies which either have informed the civil liberties organizations that they plan to keep sharing ALPR information with out-of-state law enforcement, or have failed to confirm their compliance with the law in response to inquiries by the organizations.
“We urge your office to explore all potential avenues to ensure that state and local law enforcement agencies immediately comply,” the letter said. “We are deeply concerned that the information could be shared with agencies that do not respect California’s commitment to civil rights and liberties and are not covered by California’s privacy protections.”
If there’s a state law that local police aren’t adhering to, there’s only one course of action.
Clear the local police station with state police until replacements who can follow their own laws are found and properly trained.
The ones who refused to follow the law are subject to the full penalties of failing to do so.
In other words: STOP FUCKING TREATING THEM WITH KID GLOVES AND START TREATING THEM LIKE YOU WOULD ANYONE ELSE
