Study: Lawmakers Should Consider Guardrails for Camera Misuse

If decisions allow for continued use of license plate reading cameras, lawmakers should consider establishing guardrails to prevent misuse, said contributors to a legislative study in Oklahoma. Lawmakers in Oklahoma are urged to clarify state statutes regarding the legality of the use of automated license plate reading cameras for law enforcement purposes. The cameras, which track the daily movements of millions of people, can be used for enforcement of the state’s mandatory insurance law and also to facilitate collection of tolls on turnpikes. However, a legislative study suggests that lawmakers should consider establishing "guardrails" to prevent such misuse. Advances in technology have led to reviews of laws and interpretations of how these devices may be used in other jurisdictions. The American Civil Liberties Union warns of the potential for mass government surveillance if ALPRs continue to be deployed.
