Tempe Halts License Plate Data Sharing | Phoenix News

Tempe’s city council has halted automatic data sharing from its license plate cameras, citing privacy concerns and the risk of misuse — especially by immigration enforcement — after community outcry. Now, data is only released through formal requests to Arizona agencies, and a new online portal tracks camera activity. Councilmember Bobby Nichols warns against exposing residents to unchecked surveillance, even as the city audits its own systems and explores new vendors. Privacy advocates argue the tech is fundamentally flawed and call for an end to surveillance entirely, not just a vendor switch.
