California Attorney General Rob Bonta has filed a lawsuit against the City of El Cajon, accusing its police department of repeatedly violating state law by sharing automated license plate reader (ALPR) data with law enforcement agencies in more than two dozen states.

I mean, this was kind of guaranteed to happen once ALPRs rolled out. Legal or not. If you don’t want that information to get out, probably want to avoid having ALPRs.

The mayor and anyone else involved in the decision to break the law and share this personal information should be individually held legally accountable.

Send them to prison for a bit and see if they still think they have the “sovereign” right to ignore the law.

fyi El Cajon is just east of San Diego
