Existing law authorizes the Department of the California Highway Patrol to retain license plate data captured by license plate reader technology, also referred to as an automated license plate recognition (ALPR) system, for not more than 60 days unless the data is being used as evidence or for the investigation of felonies. Existing law authorizes the department to share that data with law enforcement agencies for specified purposes. Existing law requires ALPR operators and ALPR end-users, as those terms are defined, to implement usage and privacy policies and to maintain reasonable security procedures and practices regarding ALPR information, as specified. Existing law requires the usage and privacy policy implemented by an ALPR operator or an ALPR end-user to include the length of time ALPR information will be retained and the process the ALPR operator or ALPR end-user will utilize to determine if and when to destroy retained ALPR information. This bill would require an ALPR operator or ALPR end-user that is a public agency, excluding an airport authority, to include in those policies, procedures, and practices a requirement that ALPR information that does not match information on a hot list, as defined, be purged in 30 days, as specified. The bill would also prohibit those ALPR operators and end-users from accessing ALPR information that is older than 60 days, except as specified. The bill would impose annual audit requirements to review and assess ALPR end-user searches during the previous year to determine compliance with the usage and privacy policy, as specified. Existing law prohibits a public agency from selling, sharing, or transferring ALPR information, except to another public agency, and only as otherwise permitted by law. This bill would prohibit ALPR information from being sold, shared, or transferred to an out-of-state or federal agency without a court order or warrant issued by a California court. The bill would make related findings and declarations.
