Meridian Police Chief Addresses Privacy Concerns Over License Plate Readers

Meridian Police Chief Addresses Privacy Concerns Over License Plate Readers

Meridian Police Chief Tracy Basterrechea has publicly defended the city's use of automated license plate readers (ALPRs) amidst growing privacy concerns in the Treasure Valley. In a guest post on the City of Meridian's website, Chief Basterrechea outlined the department's protocols for storing and accessing ALPR data, emphasizing safeguards against misuse. Meridian utilizes Axon ALPR cameras, which are designed to log license plates only when a vehicle enters the camera's field of view, rather than continuously tracking individuals. The data collected is controlled by Meridian, retained for 30 days under department policy, and then automatically deleted unless it becomes evidence in a case. The chief also clarified that the federal government does not have access to Meridian's ALPR data, and any access by other law enforcement agencies would require a memorandum of understanding and City Council approval. Meridian recently reduced its data retention period from 60 to 30 days.

Oshkosh Common Council Considers Permanent Ban on License Plate Readers

Oshkosh Common Council Considers Permanent Ban on License Plate Readers

The Oshkosh Common Council is set to deliberate on a resolution that would enact a permanent ban on all automated license plate reading (ALPR) technology within the city. This includes devices such as Flock Safety cameras. Deputy Mayor Karl Beulow, who authored the resolution, has indicated his support for the measure. The proposed resolution aims to prohibit the implementation or adoption of any ALPR technology unless it receives explicit oversight and consent from the council. Beulow emphasized that this initiative serves as a clear communication to both city staff and residents, signaling a commitment to thorough evaluation before any such technology is adopted. He likened ALPR technology to dynamite, suggesting it is too powerful for individual discretion, contrasting it with the common analogy of a hammer. This discussion follows the city of Oshkosh's cancellation of its contract with Flock Safety on April 22, with Winnebago County following suit on September 4.
