A Bill is working its way through the Washington State Senate that could place limits on how Automated license plate readers (ALPRs) are used within the state. California is one such state, and its cities are going all in on these controversial license plate readers. The problem that legislators in Washington state and so many others have with ALPRs is their use as a potential back door for federal immigration law enforcement. It was also discovered that the U.S. Border Patrol has unofficial access to additional ALPR data from 10 or more agencies. This is in addition to access granted on a more limited basis to Border Patrol, ICE, and out-of-state law enforcement agencies.
