Show Notes
Seattle and Kent police departments pause mobile license plate readers due to new Washington state law, SB 6220, which caps data storage at 21 days and bans plate snapping near sensitive locations. Kent Police Chief Raphael Padilla suspends mobile readers to avoid violations, while fixed cameras from Flock Safety are allowed. Axon and Flock are working on geofencing to block restricted spots, with patrol car readers expected to return soon with enhanced privacy protections.
