Ars Technica has obtained Oakland's entire license plate reader database
Through a public records request, Ars Technica‘s Cyrus Farivar has obtained the Oakland police department’s entire license plate reader database, a total of 4.7 million scans taken over more than three years. The database is available to police without a warrant, and thus was accessible through public records law, but the mere existence of the dataset raises profound privacy issues.
