Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Changes the definition of "automated license plate reader" or " ALPR" to mean a camera or system of cameras using computer algorithms to convert images of license plates into automated computer-recognized searchable alphanumeric data (rather than an electronic device) that is mounted on a law enforcement vehicle or positioned in a stationary location and that is capable of recording data on or taking a photograph of a vehicle or its license plate and comparing the collected data and photographs to existing law enforcement databases for investigative purposes. Allows a law enforcement agency to retain ALPR system detection records for 5 years after the date of the creation of the records. Requires the detection records to be archived 90 days after the creation of the records unless the information is relevant to an ongoing investigation or pending criminal trial. Provides that any detection records that are older than 90 days shall only be accessed with the written approval of the law enforcement agency head. Prohibits all detection records archived after 90 days from being searchable by out-of-state agencies. Requires all detection records to be destroyed 5 years after the records were created unless the information is relevant to an ongoing investigation or pending criminal trial. Requires the Illinois State Police to retain ALPR detection records for a period that is consistent with the provisions of the Expressway Camera Act and the State Records Act.
