Turning back to late 2021, the City Council approved the use of Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) technology with a 5-0 vote. The breadcrumbs of cases mentioned above are not directly related to ALPR issues; however, ALPR issues can certainly be defined as “Fourth Amendment issues.” Still, there remained more questions than answers with use of the Flock ALPR system and the changing landscape. In the case of ALPR technology used by the Grass Valley Police Department, the initial use and deployment had been well reasoned, understood at the time, and believed to be for the benefit of the community. As a department we will continue to monitor developments relative to ALPR and other technologies, including their relative Landscapes for future use.
