Airway Heights Police Department and Spokane County Sheriff’s Office have temporarily disabled their Flock automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras due to a new state privacy law, Senate Bill 6002. The law imposes new restrictions on ALPR usage, camera placement, and data retention periods. Both agencies are consulting with legal counsel to understand compliance requirements before potentially reactivating the cameras. This move highlights the impact of evolving privacy legislation on law enforcement surveillance technology and raises questions about data governance and civil liberties concerning ALPR systems.
