Show Notes
Washington Governor Bob Ferguson signed a new law limiting automated license plate reader usage, primarily due to unauthorized federal immigration agent access. The bill restricts use to serious crimes, mandates data deletion after 21 days, and prohibits sharing outside court cases. While some support the law, others criticize it as too lenient. Flock, the main camera provider, is updating systems to comply with the new privacy rules. Ferguson also signed bills providing advance notice of federal immigration audits and allowing state employees to share paid time off after hate crimes or immigration actions.
