--- Relevant excerpt of the original request (November 1, 2022) ---

This is a request under the California Public Records Act, seeking a copy of the following records: certain ALPR (automated license plate reader) log files. Specifically, we are seeking to know:

A1. The names of agencies and organizations with which the Agency shares ALPR data;
A2. The names of agencies and organizations from which the Agency receives ALPR data;
A3. The names of agencies and organizations with which the Agency shares "hot list" information;
A4. The names of agencies and organizations from which the Agency receives "hot list" information.

The information requested in items A1-A4 is readily available for extraction through the ALPR software you use. For example, with Vigilant Solutions/Motorola Solutions, this data can be exported easily using the Data Sharing Report function. With Flock Safety, this information is available through the transparency portal function. Other software, such as BOSS, has similar functionality.

Sincerely,
Dave Maass
Director of Investigations
Electronic Frontier Foundation
