The ACLU says the technology 'fuels [ICE's] deportation machine.'
In this 2015 image, a computer terminal displays a license plate captured by Automated License Plate Readers in California.
The information for the license plate data comes from commercial sources such as cameras from parking garages or repossession companies. The other source is law enforcement cameras that scan license plates. "Daily life decisions are often made in cars and tracking locations through automatic license plate readers could over time paint a clear picture of someone's personal life," Talla told BuzzFeed News."We oppose ICE’s access to powerful technology because it just fuels their deportation machine.
ICE encouraged officers and agents to request scans from local law enforcement agencies with a step-by-step guide on how to ask for the license plate information from local law enforcement officials and it appeared the efforts worked: over 80 law enforcement agencies agreed to hand over license plate scans to ICE officials, according to the documents.
