Provide Written Testimony on SB 6002 (The Driver Privacy Act, regulating license plate readers like Flock) to the Senate Law & Justice

The Driver's Privacy Act regulates Automated license plate readers (ALPRs) like Flock, which allow law enforcement to track where people drive and when. The bill has some strong protections but needs to be strengthened to protect Washingtonians -- and prevent data sharing with ICE.
