The EFF and ACLU letter lists 35 specific police agencies which either have informed the civil liberties organizations that they plan to keep sharing ALPR information with out-of-state law enforcement, or have failed to confirm their compliance with the law in response to inquiries by the organizations.

“We urge your office to explore all potential avenues to ensure that state and local law enforcement agencies immediately comply,” the letter said. “We are deeply concerned that the information could be shared with agencies that do not respect California’s commitment to civil rights and liberties and are not covered by California’s privacy protections.”

Yeah, fuck that. The day I learn my car is being tracked is the day I start covering my license plate.

Lol credit agencies have been selling this service for years to Repomen and PIs amongst other groups who buy and sell this data regularly. One commercially available option from TransUnion: https://www.tlo.com/vehicle-sightings

I don't live in an area with street cameras or even regular police patrols. There's obviously record of me owning the car but I'd be surprised if there's any footage anywhere of me driving it other than the private CCTV of different local fuel stations and I never go to the one closest to my house since I've been told the fuel there is of lower quality.
