ALPR?! Oh no.
Could be worse, I suppose. I'm a little worried about "when it isn't needed by the city". Does this mean the city can persist the data perpetually if it just says it "needs" it?
If they follow their stated policies it ought to be fine. Probably.
Quote:“The policy is focusing on protecting personal information and making sure that any information that's not required to be kept by the city is purged immediately,” said Shayne Turner, Director of Municipal Enforcement Services.
Turner says the policy ensures staff has guidelines in place to make sure information is removed from the system when it isn’t needed by the city, and information that is needed is safeguarded and protected electronically.
The city says the LPR system will only be used to capture parking violations and will not be used to collect information for other law enforcement purposes.
