Washington Adds Safeguards for Flock Cameras with Driver Privacy Act

Washington State Standard · Jake Goldstein-Street · March 31, 2026

Governor Bob Ferguson signed SB 6002, called 'the strongest ALPR bill in the country,' into law. The Driver Privacy Act limits camera use to felonies and gross misdemeanors, mandates 21-day data deletion, bans cameras near schools and healthcare facilities, prohibits immigration enforcement use, and makes violations a gross misdemeanor. The bill passed with strong bipartisan support.
