A Bipartisan Amendment Would End Police License Plate Tracking Nationwide
Bipartisan U.S. Representatives Scott Perry (R-PA) and Jesús "Chuy" García (D-IL) are introducing an amendment to the $580 billion 5-year federal surface transportation reauthorization bill that would prohibit recipients of federal highway funding from using automated license plate readers (ALPRs) for any purpose other than tolling, effectively ending nearly all state and local police ALPR programs nationwide. The measure has support from privacy advocacy groups citing widespread ALPR misuse and Fourth Amendment concerns, while ALPR provider Flock Group and law enforcement advocates argue the technology is critical for solving crimes.
