PRIVACY Act aims to protect rights by regulating federal use of state and local surveillance data and equipment.
The PRIVACY Act, also known as the Protecting Rights in Video and Equipment Acquired Discovery Act, restricts federal law enforcement agencies from using or accessing state or local surveillance equipment or data without a warrant. It mandates the creation of a Jurisdictional Wall List of covered technologies, including automated license plate readers and cameras capturing vehicle occupants. Federal funds cannot be used to purchase, acquire, or install these technologies.
