Washington state lawmakers have passed a groundbreaking bill, the Driver Privacy Act, to regulate automated license plate readers. The bill limits storage to twenty-one days, keeps footage out of public records, and prohibits immigration checks.

Cities like Everett have paused their license plate readers due to privacy concerns, but officials hope the new law will provide clear rules for safe reinstatement.
