THE AI ANGLE
Automated license plate scanning and location tracking

The Marin County Sheriff's Office shared automated license plate reader data with out-of-state and federal law enforcement agencies. This sharing breached California privacy statutes and a prior legal settlement agreement. The breach forces justice and policy officials to confront compliance failures in automated surveillance networks.
