Toney urges state action on license plate readers in Wisconsin
Original: Toney calls for state action on ALPR technology as flock cameras dropped in NE Wisconsin
Wisconsin State Senator La Tonya Johnson, known as Toney, is calling for state-level regulation of automated license plate reader (ALPR) technology after Flock safety cameras were dropped in northeastern Wisconsin. The call puts a spotlight on how the surveillance cameras are used, how long data is kept, and who can access it, as local communities reconsider their contracts with the camera provider.
Why now: Local communities are pulling out of Flock camera programs, prompting renewed debate over privacy and the need for statewide rules on license plate readers.
