Assembly members say license plate readers have become a common tool to fight crime, but groups have raised concerns about who has access to the data the readers collect and the extent to which consumer data is shared. Although some companies have independently established privacy policies, New York currently has no universal minimum standards regulating the collection, use, and sharing of consumer data through automatic license plate readers.
Lawmakers are working to get input on how the readers can still be used for public safety while protecting people’s rights to privacy. The hearing begins at 11 a.m. You can listen to it live here.
