AI Summary

  • Establishes regulations for automated license plate readers (ALPRs) used by Arizona law enforcement, limiting use to official purposes including identifying stolen vehicles, wanted persons, human trafficking cases, and active warrant investigations.

  • Requires law enforcement officers to verify ALPR alerts through an authorized central database before taking enforcement action, and mandates agency-approved training before employees can operate the technology.

  • Restricts access to ALPR images and data captured more than 48 hours after a reported incident, requiring a search warrant or subpoena unless exceptions apply (owner consent, stolen vehicle reports, exigent circumstances, Amber alerts, or human trafficking cases).

  • Exempts all ALPR data and images from public records requests while requiring password-protected systems that document all access by user name, date, and time, plus mandatory annual system audits.

  • Makes willful and intentional unauthorized access, use, sale, or dissemination of ALPR data a class 6 felony.
