ICE Access to Police License Plate Data and the Bohemian Grove Flight Path Controversy

  An investigation by ChicoSol found that Chico Police had been sharing automated license plate reader data with federal agencies, including ICE and Border Patrol, despite California laws restricting that practice. This week on North Bay 101, we examine what the discovery reveals about police surveillance, data privacy, and the evolving debate over how law enforcement technologies are being used across California. Plus, after two years of complaints about aircraft noise in western Sonoma County, residents noticed a surprising change during Bohemian Grove: the planes largely disappeared. We explore how flight paths were temporarily altered, why residents say it proves change is possible, and what the controversy reveals about who gets a say in decisions affecting local communities.
