Connecticut lawmakers are considering legislation, Senate Bill No. 4, to restrict the use of automated license plate readers (ALPRs), including Flock cameras, by state and local law enforcement. The bill proposes that agencies only contract with ALPR companies that guarantee data won’t be used inconsistently with state law, such as sharing with federal agencies in violation of Connecticut’s Trust Act. Data collected should not be shared outside the state or used for immigration enforcement or investigations into reproductive health services, unless under specific legal conditions like a warrant. The lack of central regulation means the exact number of ALPRs in use is unknown, but Flock Safety systems are widely deployed. While civil liberties advocates, like the ACLU of Connecticut, raise concerns about privacy risks, especially for vulnerable populations, law enforcement maintains the cameras are vital for crime solving and locating missing persons.
