The residents of New York, Boston, Atlanta, Oklahoma City, Washington, D.C. For ALPR technology to reach its full potential, the current architectural solutions that protect privacy should be assessed particularly in the light of homeland security concerns and the risks of massive attacks such as, bombings, release of poisonous gas, biological attacks, and the like, which have vastly increased. In other words, strong state and federal laws already exist that extensively minimizes access to the DMV data separate and apart from ALPR data, but also applies and already requires compliance in order to utilize ALPR data as a surveillance tool. A person may only access vehicle registration records under the permissible purposes defined by the DPPA or the applicable state law.
Legislative limitations that minimize access to data are already in place to provide privacy protection in situations that do not involve ALPR data. As mentioned earlier in this analysis, whether it is for ALPR purposes, or for non-ALPR purposes, DMV access is already highly regulated by the federal Driver’s Privacy Protection Act (“DPPA”) and state law equivalents of the DPPA. That is where the second element of access minimization is instituted to create an architectural solution that provides the necessary oversight and limitation to protect against privacy abuse. Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) technology has been extremely effective in using historic and real-time data to rescue or protect innocent citizens and capture criminals in thousands of cases. We need to protect highly effective law enforcement technology that greatly expands law enforcement efforts, while safeguarding personal privacy by using anonymous data. There is a troubling trend by some state governments to limit the speed and effectiveness of law enforcement efforts to pursue and capture fugitives, rescue kidnapped or hijacked victims, respond to AMBER /Silver Alerts, monitor sex offenders, solve crimes and terrorist attacks, and recover stolen vehicles. Identifies a strong legislative structure already in place to protect consumers and highlights the negative impact of lawmakers targeting specific technology, rather than technology-neutral behavior. NetChoice has released a white paper for law makers exploring the basis for these legislative attacks, and separating fact from fiction as it relates to automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) technology. State and federal lawmakers have increasingly moved to target a powerful technology used by law enforcement to solve crimes and save lives.
