SB1753 - Freedom from Automatic License Plate Reader Surveillance Act

• Creates restrictions on automatic license plate reader (ALPR) systems, permitting use only for electronic toll collection, traffic enforcement, parking regulation, secured area access control, criminal investigations, and comparison with law enforcement databases.

• Requires law enforcement agencies using ALPR systems to update databases at the beginning of each shift and manually enter license plates only when officers determine relevance to ongoing criminal or missing person investigations, with manual entries purged after 48 hours.

• Limits data retention to 30 days for comparison-based investigations, except when matching an alert, and prohibits sharing, selling, or exchanging captured plate data except as authorized by court order.

• Mandates law enforcement agencies adopt policies governing ALPR use, privacy protections, audit procedures, and employee training programs, with policies posted on agency websites.

• Makes captured plate data obtained in violation of the Act presumed inadmissible in judicial or administrative proceedings unless the State proves a Fourth Amendment exception or good faith reliance on legitimate exceptions.
