Directory
Resources
Everyone working on license plate reader surveillance, on both sides. Critics, researchers, journalists, agencies running programs, and the vendors themselves.
Listing the other side is deliberate. A directory that only carries allies is a reading list, and it is the first thing an opponent points at. Read the agency FAQs and judge for yourself.
Agencies and government
Chula Vista Police ALPR page www.chulavistaca.gov
A city police department's public account of its 150-camera program, including retention, prohibited uses, and its position on federal sharing under California law. Useful as a benchmark for what your own city should be publishing.
Illinois State Police ALPR transparency page isp.illinois.gov
State-level program detail: vendor, camera counts, retention, and the statutory basis. Notable for stating that ALPR data is not subject to FOIA disclosure in Illinois.
Major Cities Chiefs Association: ALPR in Law Enforcement majorcitieschiefs.com
Guidance from a working group of large-city police chiefs on running an ALPR program, including their own recommended limits. Worth reading before a council meeting: it is the case for the technology made by its most credible proponents.
