Watchdog says cities forced to feed license plate data to federal surveillance
Original: 🕵️ Latest from # Surveillance # Technology Oversight Project (S.T.O.P.) # NYC “Cities are now being forced to sign agree
The Surveillance Technology Oversight Project, a New York-based civil liberties group, reports that cities are being compelled to sign agreements allowing automated license plate reader data to be channeled into federal government surveillance servers. Once there, the data becomes accessible to other law enforcement agencies. Privacy advocates are sounding the alarm that local drivers' movements are being shared widely without public consent, renewing debate over federal-local surveillance partnerships.
Why now: A civil liberties watchdog's warning about local license plate data flowing to federal surveillance servers is raising privacy concerns.
