Amendment 1:

WHEREAS, California Civil Code Sections 1798.90.50–1798.90.55 (“SB 34”) prohibit

state and local law enforcement agencies from sharing, transferring, granting

access to, or otherwise making available ALPR information to federal agencies or

out-of-state law enforcement agencies for any purpose, and require agencies to

implement written policies, technical controls, audit mechanisms, and contractual

safeguards ensuring full compliance with these prohibitions; and

Amendment 2:

WHEREAS, the California Attorney General’s 2023 ALPR Bulletin clarified that the

term “public agency” under SB 34 excludes federal and out-of-state agencies

entirely, and advises that ALPR or camera-derived information may not be shared

with, accessed by, or made available to such entities directly or indirectly,

including through vendor-managed platforms, regional networks, or

cross-jurisdictional integrations; and

WHEREAS, the City of Oakland, consistent with SB 54 and its own “Sanctuary”

policies, prohibits the use of City resources, including surveillance technologies,

systems, or data, to support federal immigration enforcement; and

WHEREAS, compliance with SB 34, SB 54, OPD policies DGO 1-12: Automated

License Plate Reader and the proposed DGO I-32.1 - Community Safety Camera

System,” and Attorney General guidance provides that a contract for ALPR or

camera technology include enforceable provisions mandating: (1) technical

blocking of access to City data by any federal or out-of-state agency; (2) prohibition

on vendor compliance with subpoenas or legal requests from such agencies unless

reviewed by the City Attorney; (3) audit logs documenting all access attempts,

including denied requests; (4) quarterly compliance reporting to the City; and (5)

immediate notification to the City of any attempted or actual unauthorized access;

and

Amendment 5:

WHEREAS, robust oversight of ALPR and camera systems, including detailed

reporting, audits, and compliance mechanisms, is essential to ensuring

transparency, protecting civil liberties, and maintaining public trust, and therefore

such safeguards must be embedded in both departmental policy and contractual

agreements; and

Amendment 6:

WHEREAS, the City Council finds it necessary to explicitly articulate these statutory

obligations within this Resolution to ensure the City of Oakland, its Police

Department, and its technology vendors operate in full compliance with state law

and community privacy expectations, and to ensure that these protections govern

the interpretation and enforcement of all contractual and operational provisions;

and

Amendment 7:

Further Resolved: That Attachment A, DGO I-32.1: Community Safety Camera

System, is approved with the following provision: No camera data shall be shared

with out-of-state jurisdictions for the purpose of inquiry or investigation on a

person seeking reproductive health care or gender-affirming care in California; and

be it

Amendment 8:

Further Resolved: That the City Council intends that no ALPR or camera-derived

information collected by the City, its contractors, or its partner agencies shall be

shared with, accessed by, or used by any federal or out-of-state law enforcement

agency, directly or indirectly, unless such action is required by a federal judicial

warrant or court order, and that all City systems and vendor platforms must be

configured and operated in a manner that technically and contractually enforces

this requirement; and be it
