Connecticut's new license plate camera law: What changes Oct. 1
www.newstimes.com
... New regulations on automated license plate cameras go into effect Oct. 1 in Connecticut. But in the four months since legislators in Hartford approved those rules, the debate on the technology has only gotten louder. ...
The new law changes who Connecticut departments can share data with. Starting Oct. 1, Connecticut law enforcement agencies can only opt into sharing license plate data with towns in Massachusetts, New York and/or Rhode Island, given those towns agree to Connecticut's usage policies. This can be done with specific cases or with automatic sharing agreements. Police in other states will only be able to search Connecticut data if they receive a judicial warrant to do so.
The law also changes what Connecticut data can be used for. Local departments, and the neighboring states with which they can share data, will be prohibited from using the data for immigration, reproductive care or gender-affirming healthcare investigations. The data also cannot be searched to identify someone "engaged in a First Amendment-protected activity," such as attending a protest.
The data collected by the cameras will only be retained for 21 days unless it is used for an active investigation, to comply with a warrant or for highway usage fees. Departments must also now follow a model policy developed by the state's police council and create annual reports on how they are using the technology.
"The law, for a first bite at the apple, is not bad," said Ken Barone, the manager of the University of Connecticut's Racial Profiling Prohibition Project that focuses on equitable roadway safety. "It puts limits on retention periods, prohibits certain locations for cameras, restricts how the database can be used and who you can share data with."
The law bars public agencies from collecting license plate data near a reproductive or sexual health facility that primarily provides gender-affirming healthcare services, or organizations that primarily serve immigrant communities. ...
