Berkeley police are confident that the ALPRs will be a valuable tool for law enforcement.
Berkeley's Police Accountability Board voted in June to reject the proposal. Board member Kitty Calavita said the proposal lacked data on the effectiveness of ALPRs, better civil liberties protections on privacy, and clarity around costs.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California sent the Berkeley City Council a letter ahead of Tuesday's meeting calling on the council to reject the proposal, saying it"leaves important questions unaddressed and raises a number of serious concerns about the proposed program's impact on the rights and liberties of drivers, residents, and visitors in Berkeley."
The Berkeley City Council could approve the proposal, reject it or modify it. If the council approves the proposal, the Police Department will begin the two-year trial of 52 ALPRs around the city. At the end of the trial, the department would report back to the City Council on the results of the trial. The council would then decide whether to continue the use of ALPRs in the city.
The council meeting takes place at 6 p.m. at the Berkeley Unified School District board room at 1231 Addison St. in Berkeley. Live captioned broadcasts of council meetings are available on Cable B-TV and via internet video stream at http://berkeley.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?publish_id=1244. This article tagged under:
