Looking Forward

The use of ALPRs to monitor and track citizens must be regulated. Because private companies and well as the government have access to this information, the data collected has already become commodified. The databases created by these contain an unfathomable amount of information on our movement, and in the hands of private actors can lead to discrimination and manipulation. Data retention policies must be implemented on a nation-wide level, requiring deletion within days or weeks. Use of ALPRs should be strictly limited to law enforcement agencies operating with warrants to assist in ongoing criminal investigations. This data should not be permitted to be sold or monetized.

Why would collecting information that we are required to publish and carry around in legible form be subject to constitutional limits? Regulatory limits can be placed on information collected by state-financed resources. Presumably federal highway funds and other forms of federal assistance could be conditioned on particular privacy regimes for the information collected by government. But how could private efforts to learn what we are required to publish be controlled without infringing our rights to learn, to think, and to teach?

 
You are entitled to restrict access to your paper if you want to. But we all derive immense benefit from reading one another's work, and I hope you won't feel the need unless the subject matter is personal and its disclosure would be harmful or undesirable.
