Marin County’s Sheriff has agreed to stop sharing automated license plate reader camera data with Immigration and Customs Enforcement or any other agencies outside the state. Already, police departments as far as San Diego County are following suit. Sheriff Robert Doyle was sued by immigrant rights activists in October 2021 for violating SB 34, which prohibits sharing LPR data with unauthorized persons, as well as the state’s sanctuary law SB 54. According to inewsource, the settlement has convinced some San Diego County law enforcement agencies to end their sharing of LPR data. It was previously reported that 10 San Diego agencies had been illegally sharing LPR data with agencies in other states.
