Surveillance Oversight Ordinance
The City of Urbana has been discussing an ordinance that would require surveillance technology to go through a public review process and approval by City Council. They will be discussing and voting on the ordinance after the budget is passed. This this a common sense measure that should be replicated in all our local jurisdictions.
Here are a few reasons this is especially critical:
ALPRs are Being Used to Track Women Receiving Healthcare in Illinois
- Read about legal action by the State of Illinois in the Chicago Tribune.
ALPRs are Being Used to Help ICE in Illinois
- Listen to this Podcast from 404 Media about how Danville's ALPR data is being used by ICE.
The University of Illinois Real Time Information Center proposes to leverage 3,000 cameras, artificial intelligence and social media monitoring of “public sentiment” to undertake warrant-less mass surveillance in our community.
