1 OAKLAND POLICE DEPARTMENT
Surveillance Impact Use Report
for the Automated License
Plate Reader
A. Description: Information Describing the Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) and How It Works including product descriptions and manuals from manufacturers*.
ALPR technology consists of cameras that can automatically scan license plates on vehicles that are publicly visible (in the public right of way and/or on public streets).
The Oakland Police Department (OPD) uses only ALPR cameras mounted to patrol vehicles so that license plates can be photographed during routine police patrol operations. Each camera housing (two housings per vehicle) consists of a regular color photograph camera as well as an infrared camera (for better photography during darkness). ALPR reads these license plates with a lens and charge-coupled device (CCD) that senses and records the image (can be parked or moving vehicle plates) and connects the image to an optical character recognition (OCR) system that can connect the image to that actual license plate characters.
The ALPR system in a patrol vehicle is activated when the user logs into the software from their vehicle-based computer and starts the system.. Once initiated, the system runs continuously and photographs vehicles until turned off manually;1 ALPR cameras typically record hundreds of license plates each hour but exact recording rates depend on vehicle activity and how many vehicles are encountered.
The system compares license plate characters against specific databases, and stores the characters along with the date, time, and location of the license plate in a database.; OPD’s ALPR system updates daily with three California Department of Justice (CA DOJ) hotlists: felony wants, stolen plates, and stolen vehicles.; OPD can also add vehicle plates to internal OPD-created hotlists. There is no OPD ALPR connection to any federal databases.
Authorized personnel within OPD can also enter specific license plate numbers into the system so that active vehicle ALPR systems will alert the officer in the vehicle if there is a real-time match between the entered license plate and the photographed license plate.
OPD personnel will contact OPD Communications Division (dispatch), or verify via their vehicle computers, anytime the ALPR system signals that a license plate on a database has been seen and OPD personnel always personally check with Communications before actually stopping a vehicle based on a ALPR license plate match.
The platform software allows authorized personnel to query the system to see if a

2 certain license plate (and associated vehicle) have been photographed. The system will show the geographic location within Oakland for license plates that have been photographed, as well as time and date. Authorized personnel can see the actual photographs that match a particular license plate query – the OCR system can incorrectly match alpha-numeric characters so the actual photographs are vital for ensuring the accuracy of the license plate query.
New Features in Boss4
OPD seeks to upgrade its current ALPR version to BOSS4, which is recommended for the improved audit capabilities of the system. If OPD upgrades to BOSS4, the following features will become available:
• The ability to search by vehicle color (e.g., Red, Black, Blue) • The ability to search by vehicle make (e.g., Chevrolet, Ford, Mazda) • The ability to search by vehicle type (e.g., Sedan, Truck, Van) The ability to search by vehicle specifics (e.g., Roof Racks, Logos, Spare Tires) is also currently available in BOSS4. OPD acknowledges that this feature may implicate additional privacy concerns. OPD has already asked the vendor to disable this feature in OPD’s ALPR system. If the vendor is unable to disable this feature, then OPD will only upgrade to the base BOSS4 version to improve audit capabilities.
Anticipated Hotlists in BOSS4
Authorized personnel within OPD will be able to add specific license plate numbers into the system as either an alert hotlist or a covert hotlist. Alert hotlists will alert officers in their ALPR equipped vehicles if the plate that was added to the hotlist has been located. Additionally the officers receive further instructions including who to contact regarding the alert. Covert hotlists will not alert officers via the ALPR system. Instead, the alert will be sent to the appropriate investigator for further follow up. This ensures any real-time information necessary to further an investigation is provided to the appropriate individual.
Internal OPD specific hotlists are to be added to the system only upon the approval of the BOS Deputy Director or their designee. The designated approver must be documented in writing with a specific name or departmental position authorized to act as designee.
In addition, the following criteria/information must be provided for each request to add a license plate to any OPD hotlist:
• Vehicle must be part of an existing OPD investigation • License Plate Number and State of Issuance
• OPD report number
• Vehicle Description
• Explanation for the request
• Which hotlist to add the plate to: Alert or Covert
• Requester’s Name and Serial Number
Disapproved lists will be kept on file. Approved requests are to be added to the specific hotlist requested with a maximum run time of 30 days. License plates will be deleted automatically from the system after that time. The requester must resubmit a new request to extend the time an additional 30 days. Should the requester desire

3 to remove the plate from the hotlist before the 30th day, the requester must contact OPD IT by emailing [email protected] to request early removal.
* As part of the purchase of the ALPR business from 3M, Neology acquired all intellectual property rights of the ALPR portfolio, including documentation such as the BOSS3 manual, as well as corresponding copyright/confidentiality elements. Neology has confirmed to OPD that they do NOT waive the copyright notice for the BOSS3 manual as it remains a relevant piece of intellectual property which Neology acquired.
B. Purpose: How OPD intends to Use ALPR Technology
OPD uses ALPR for two purposes:
1. The immediate (real time) comparison of the license plate characters against specific databases such as those provided by the California Department of Justice listing vehicles that are stolen or sought in connection with a crime or missing persons; and
2. Storage of the license plate characters – along with the date, time, and location of the license plate – in a database that is accessible by law enforcement agencies (LEA) for investigative purposes.
ALPR technology helps OPD personnel to leverage their public presence and to more effectively use their limited time for more critical activity. The technology can alert officers to vehicles that are stolen or connected to a serious felony crime (e.g., aggravated assault, homicide, robbery, sexual assault) immediately (by being automatically connected to criminal databases). Officers can then use the information to notify OPD personnel and/or stop the vehicle as justified by the information. The automatic process decreases the need for laborious data entry processes; therefore, officers have more time for observing public activity and speaking with members of the public. Appendix A to this report showcases 109 cases (2018) and 101 (2020) cases where an officer’s vehicle ALPR system alerted them to a vehicle on one of the CA DOJ hotlists. Generally, these “hits” from real- time ALPR in-vehicle occurred within a few days of the crime and/or report being taken and the plate becoming populated in the CA DOJ database.
ALPR also provides an important tool for criminal investigations. The information collected by analysts and investigators can determine where a plate has been in the past, which can help to confirm whether or not a vehicle has been at the scene of a crime. Additionally, accurate photos of vehicles from the ALPR system make searching for vehicles much easier – how the vehicle differs from every other vehicle of the same make and model. The photos frequently show distinctive vehicle aspects (e.g. dents, scratches, stickers). Investigators can also confirm that the vehicle matches the license plate and whether the license plate has been switched from a different vehicle. Such information may help personnel to find new leads in a felony crime investigation.
OPD has not historically quantified ALPR usage for vehicle stops, nor for later criminal investigations2 in a way that easily allows for impact analysis. However,
2 Current policies mandate documenting reasons for vehicle stops and reported race and gender of persons stopped. OPD is reviewing how to ensure that investigators note when ALPR was instrumental in criminal investigations for documenting ALPR impact.
Attachment A
4 OPD is developing more automated processes for tracking ALPR usage in connection with investigations – OPD and the City’s IT Department are currently engaged in a multi-year new CAD/RMS implementation which will greatly improve this type of data tracking. More immediately, Furthermore, a new BOSS 4 system (see Section E below) will also allow for better use tracking.
OPD’s Criminal Investigations Division (CID), in preparation for this report, has found several cases where ALPR license plate locational data was instrumental in the ultimate arrest and arraignment of at least two homicide suspects, and with the conviction of at least one of them; . (Appendix B attached to this report, ). The following highlights specific felony cases from the year 2020 where ALPR played a pivotal role in supporting CID investigations.
In the 15 felony cases identified (in Appendix B), where the age of the data was substantiated, the pie-chart below shows that the age of data (at the time it was queried by OPD CID investigatorsvaried) varied from “1-30 days” to “7-12 months.” :

However, there are still valuable cases using data even 18-24 months old. The chart below illustrates the recent age of this query data.
C. Location: The Locations and situations in which ALPR Camera Technology may be deployed or utilized.
OPD owns 35 sets (left and right) of ALPR vehicle-mounted cameras. Authorized personnel (as described in the Mitigations Section below) may operate ALPR camera technology on public streets in the City of Oakland, while engaged in the course of their duties.
D. Privacy Impact: How is the OPD ALPR Use Policy Adequate in Protecting Civil Rights and Liberties and whether ALPR was used or deployed, intentionally or inadvertently, in a manner that is discriminatory, viewpoint-based, or biased via algorithm.
OPD recognizes that the use of ALPR technology raises significant privacy concerns. There is concern that the use of ALPR technology can be utilized to ascertain vehicle travel patterns over periods of time. People are generally creatures of habit and often drive in their vehicles the same way to work, to visit friends and associates, to houses of worship, and neighborhood grocery stores. Research shows that “metadata”, such as individual data points such as phone numbers called, and time of day or vehicle locations, can be combined to create patterns that identify individuals.

6 and computer scientist Jonathan Mayer was able to accurately identify 80 percent of the volunteers in his study, using only open source databases such as Yelp, Facebook, and Google3.
OPD can use the ALPR technology to see if a particular license plate (and thus the associated vehicle) was photographed in particular places during particular times; however, OPD can only use the system to make such determinations by such by manually querying the system based upon a right to know (see Mitigation section below). OPD also recognizes that ALPR cameras may photograph extraneous data such as images of the vehicle, the vehicle driver and/or bumper stickers or other details that affiliate the vehicle or driver with particular groups. As explained in the Description Section (A) above and the Mitigation (E) section below, authorized personnel can only manually query the ALPR system for particular license plates (or all plates within a defined area) and only for particular reasons as outlined in OPD policy. In addition, current technology cannot be used to query data based upon vehicle drivers, or based on any type of article (e.g., bumper sticker) affixed to a vehicle. Additionally, OPD has instituted many protocols (see Mitigation section below) to safeguard against the unauthorized access to any ALPR data.
OPD is also working with the ALPR vendor to disable any feature that would allow searching for a vehicle by using affixed articles in any future update.
The 2013 American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) report titled, “YOU ARE BEING TRACKED4” cites that privacy concerns about ALPR data tracking increase the longer the data is retained. The report states, “While holding onto “hit” data while an investigation or case is ongoing is legitimate, law enforcement agencies should not be storing data about people who have done nothing wrong” (page 16). OPD shares the concerns of the ACLU that the misuse of retained data (e.g., datamining) could lead to the abuse of privacy of people who have committed no crime. OPD is committed to restricted use policies to impede the use of ALPR data for any use outside of authorized uses (e.g., criminal investigations.).
There is concern that ALPR camera use may cause disparate impacts if used more intensely in certain areas such as areas with higher crime and greater clusters of less- advantaged communities. OPD does not affix ALPR cameras to fixed infrastructure. OPD deploys ALPR camera-affixed vehicles through every area of Oakland5, even though there may be times when OPD Commanders request that ALPR cameras be used in particular areas for short periods of time to address crime patterns. Additionally, ALPR usage does not lead to greater levels of discretionary police stops; ALPR use leads to vehicle stops only where a real-time photographed license plate matches a stop warrant for a stolen vehicle or serious crime in a criminal database.
Databases such from the State of California Department of Justice (DOJ) can contain some outdated or inaccurate data. ALPR systems, just as in the case of a manual query in a police vehicle computer, will provide the license plate data from the related database.
ALPR systems simply make the query faster. In such cases personnel will follow standard policies and procedures for stopping a motorist and requesting personal identification

OMC 9.64.010 “Definitions” now requires that the Annual Surveillance Report, Section E “A summary of community complaints…” also requires that:
”The analysis shall also identify the race of each person that was subject to the technology’s use. The Privacy Advisory Commission may waive this requirement upon making a determination that the probative value in gathering this information to evaluate the technology’s impact on privacy interests is outweighed by the City’s administrative burden in collecting or verifying this information and the potential greater invasiveness in capturing such data. If the Privacy Advisory Commission makes such a determination, written findings in support of the determination shall be included in the annual report submitted for City Council review.”
.
E. Mitigations: Specific, affirmative technical and procedural measures that will be implemented to safeguard the public.
Oakland residents and visitors have an reasonable expectation of privacy and under the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution and the California Constitution. OPD may, however, a right to photograph state-issued license plates when those plates are in public view. Because surveillance technology like ALPR allows OPD to use electronic, automatic tools that allow OPD to collect and compare publicly appearing license plate images beyond the capability of an individual officer to quickly collect and compare license plates, In recognition of these concerns, OPD recognizes that there may exist concerns about the accuracy, use, and storage of such information. Therefore, OPD’s ALPR policy attempts to mitigate potential invasiveness by limiting the use and storage of real-time and aggregated ALPR data.
OPD’s ALPR system, (as mentioned in Section 1 above), uses OCR to capture license plate data. ALPR cameras are designed to focus on license plates cameras, and the OCR only records the license plate characters. The Use Policy does allow that newer versions of ALPR systems may also capture vehicle attributes such as vehicle make, model and color and allow for querying of this type of data. Extraneous data (e.g. human faces) may be captured in an ALPR image capture as well. However, OPD’s current BOSS ALPR database can only query license plate numbers.
OPD’s ALPR system is maintained on premises. OPD, with City Information Technology Department support, maintains and controls its ALPR data. There are 3rd party ALPR systems available for police departments, where the ALPR data is shared with other ALPR clients. OPD does not utilize these systems and ensures that its ALPR data is only shared via explicit requests where OPD believes a right to know and need to know threshold has been achieved.
ALPR can only be used for authorized purposes consisting only of queries related to criminal investigations and other authorized law enforcement functions, as explained in DGO I-12.B-2 “Restriction on Use: 1. “Department members shall not use, or allow others to use, the equipment or database records for any unauthorized purpose (Civil Code § 1798.90.51; Civil Code § 1798.90.53); authorized purposes consist only of queries related to criminal investigations and other authorized law enforcement functions.”. Additionally, OPD is required to provide an annual report to the PAC (per OMC 9.64) documenting ALPR usage during the prior calendar year. The annual report will contain audit data of
Attachment A
8 system queries (e.g., document aspects of use activity - time, date, and what is searched).
DGO I.12, Part 2 “Restrictions on Use,” provides a number of internal safeguards, including:
Department members shall not use, or allow others to use, the equipment or database records for any unauthorized purpose (Civil Code § 1798.90.51.; Civil Code § 1798.90.53). Authorized purposes consist only of queries related to criminal investigations, administrative investigations, missing persons cases, or other situations where there is a legal obligation to provide a information related to an investigation. Any situation outside of these categories requires approval of a commander at the rank of Deputy Chief, Deputy Director, or higher.
a. No member of this department shall operate ALPR equipment or access ALPR data without first completing department-approved training.
b. No ALPR operator may access department, state or federal data unless otherwise authorized to do so pursuant to Section B.2 “Restricted Access”.
c. Accessing data collected by ALPR requires a right to know and a need to know. A right to know is the legal authority to receive information pursuant to a state or federal statute, applicable case law, or a court order. A need to know is a compelling reason to request information such as involvement in an active investigation.
F. Data Types and Sources: A list of all types and sources of data to be collected, analyzed, or processed by the surveillance technology, including “open source” data, scores, reports, logic or algorithm used, and any additional information derived therefrom.
ALPR data is composed of photographs of license plates, which can be linked through OCR software to identify license plate alpha-numeric characters. License plate photographs, as detailed in Section One above, may contain images of the vehicle with particular visual details of the vehicle (such as vehicle make or model or bumper stickers).
Photographs may also contain images of the vehicle driver. However, the ALPR system only annotates photographs based on license plate characters (newer systems have more advanced functionality where users can query for vehicle type and color); therefore, there is currently no way to query the system based on vehicle details (such as bumper stickers) or individuals associated with a vehicle.
All ALPR data downloaded to the server shall be purged from the server at the point of 365 days in alignment with Government Code section 34090. Data may be retained outside the database for the following purposes:
1. Criminal Investigations
2. Administrative Investigations
3. Missing Persons Investigations
4. Investigations from other law enforcement or prosecutorial agencies where there is a legal obligation to provide information.
Any situation outside of these categories requires approval from a commander at the rank of Deputy Chief, Deputy Director, or higher.
California law does not mandate a specific retention period for ALPR data. California Civil Code Title 1.81 .23 governs "Collection of License Plate Information." Although the Civil Code requires ALPR operators to adopt a "usage and privacy policy"
Attachment A
9 that specifies the "length of time ALPR information will be retained", it does not mandate a specific retention period. However, when the legislature has not prescribed a retention period for a particular type of document, the two-year "catch-all" retention period in California Government Code section 34090 applies.
Section 34090.6 specifically addresses "routine video monitoring" and the destruction of video "recordings," and stipulates that the head of a department of a city may destroy recordings of routine video monitoring after one year. However, there is no legislative history or case law interpreting or suggesting that this is the appropriate retention period for ALPR data. The City ultimately believes that a 730-day data retention period is the most appropriate retention period, but that a 365-day data retention period still aligns with state law. Any data retention short of 365 days would open the City to liability risks; staff therefore believes that a 365 day ALPR data retention period aligns with internal investigatory need and State law while balancing public privacy concerns.
G. Data Security: information about the steps that will be taken to ensure that adequate security measures are used to safeguard the data collected or generated by the technology from unauthorized access or disclosure.
OPD takes data security seriously and safeguards ALPR data by both procedural and technological means. OPD will observe the following safeguards regarding access to and use of stored data (Civil Code § 1798.90.51; Civil Code § 1798.90.53):
1. All ALPR data downloaded to the mobile workstation and in storage shall be accessible only through a login/password-protected system capable of documenting all access of information by username, license number or other data elements used in the search, name, date, time and purpose (Civil Code § 1798.90.52).
2. Members approved to access ALPR data under these guidelines are permitted to access the data for legitimate LEA purposes only, such as when the data relate to a specific criminal investigation or department-related civil or administrative action.
OPD ALPR’s system is connected to the City’s virtual private network (VPN) gateway and is encrypted through the transport. The encrypted data ends at the VPN gateway and the ALPR data goes into the internal SQL database where records can be search using the OPD internal BOSS3 server. Both the BOSS3 server and ALPR SQL database are internal services that can only be accessible within the OPDnet network.
The current OPD BOSS ALPR system is not-cloud based; ALPR-camera equipped vehicle computers can download (not upload) State DOJ databases as described above. However, OPD will look to upgrade this outdated system should the City Council approve DGO I-12.
Only authorized OPD personnel have access to the OPD the ALPR BOSS system. The ALPR coordinator is responsible for providing training on the ALPR system use to authorized personnel.
H. Fiscal Cost: The fiscal costs for the surveillance technology, including initial purchase, personnel and other ongoing costs, and any current or potential sources of funding.
OPD spent $293,500 in 2014 to purchase the ALPR system from 3M. Neology later
Attachment A
10 purchased the ALPR product line from 3M. OPD does not have a maintenance contract with Neology and therefore relies on EVO for ALPR maintenance. OPD has spent approximately $50,000 annually with EVO-Emergency Vehicle Outfitters Inc. for ALPR vehicle camera maintenance. OPD relies on EVO to outfit police vehicles with many standard police technology upgrades (e.g. vehicle computers) as well as ALPR camera maintenance. However, OPD’s current ALPR camera fleet are no longer covered by a maintenance contract and OPD now only spends approximately $3,000 annual for software support.
The following information is a financial estimate to upgrade OPD’s entire ALPR system:
• New Hardware and support for 35 vehicles: $363,000
• New BOSS4 software (On-premise 1 year license): $15,000 • New BOSS4 software (Hosted storage 1 year license): $43,000
I. Third Party Dependence: Whether use or maintenance of ALPR technology will require data gathered by the technology to be handled or stored by a third-party vendor on an ongoing basis
OPD relies upon third party technology vendors to install and provide maintenance for ALPR systems (currently EVO as explained in Section H above). Vendors contracted with the City for vehicle ALPR installation and maintenance of the systems will not handle or store the ALPR data. Data gathered from each vehicle system is uploaded from the vehicle to the server for secure storage.
Maintenance of the server may require vendor supplying OPD with the server software to handle data stored in it; this access will be controlled by the City’s IT Department.
J. Alternatives Considered: A summary of all alternative methods considered in-lieu of ALPR, including the costs and benefits associated with each alternative and an explanation of the reasons why each alternative is inadequate
OPD officers and investigators rely primarily on traditional policing techniques to gather evidence related to criminal investigations such as speaking to witnesses and suspects, gathering information from observations, and using standard data aggregation systems.
These methods will continue to be employed as primary investigative tools that will be supplemented by use of BWCs to document police activity.
ALPR technology provides LEA personnel with a fast and efficient way to connect vehicles to violent and felonious criminal activity. This tool helps OPD’s authorized personnel increase their ability to find wanted suspects and help solve crimes in a way that is unique – by creating a time map of vehicle locational activity. OPD recognizes the privacy concerns inherent in such a technology but has in place the numerous mitigations and data security protocols described in sections five and seven above respectively. However, OPD believes that the alternative to ALPR usage would be to forgo its observational and investigatory benefits. OPD personnel, without access to ALPR data, would rely on patrol officer observations and other basic investigatory processes. For example, OPD would forgo information regarding real-time stolen vehicle information without access to the ALPR system that provides real-time notifications from ALPR hits against CA DOJ databases; OPD would ultimately rely on more manual processes for writing down stolen
Attachment A
11 vehicle plates – an extremely manual and less accurate process. OPD data suggest that some future violent felonies would also remain unsolved as well if there were no access to these ALPR investigatory leads.
K. Track Record of Other Entities
Numerous local and state government entities have researched and evaluated the use of ALPR cameras. The International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) documents many recent reports6. The AICP report, “News Stories about Law Enforcement ALPR Successes September 2017 - September 2018”7 presents scores of cases from different national LEA jurisdictions where ALPR data helped lead to the capture of violent criminals. A July 2014 study8 from the Rand Corporation research organization found that ALPR cameras have proven useful for crime investigations in numerous cities and states, and that systems with the most database access and longest retention policies provide the greatest use in terms of providing real-time information as well as useful investigation data. The findings in this report also indicate that privacy mitigations are critical to ensuring legal use of ALPR and public privacy protections.
Personnel have reached out to local agencies to assess their experience using ALPR.
Fremont Police Department personnel stated that they use their ALPR system daily.
Moreover, they stated that the system has been of great benefit to their investigations over the years, However, they also stated that they do not specifically track its use in investigations and cannot easily provide quantitative data. They stated that there have not been any unexpected costs or technical system problems. The Livermore Police Department (LPD) replied that they believe their ALPR system is worthwhile to them, but they do not have any quantitative information about the efficacy. LPD personnel stated that they have quantitative data regarding the number of hits as well as search queries, but not regarding usage of the system and the effectiveness. LPD staff also stated that there have not been any unanticipated costs nor system failures. They also stated that they conduct regular audits and have not identified any civil rights or civil liberties abuses.
OPD personnel are still waiting to hear back from other agencies.

Victim was killed in a drive by shooting at 35/Suter. The investigation revealed a license plate of the suspect vehicle as well as a retaliation motive from a shooting that occurred about a week earlier in the same area. Over a month after the murder the suspect vehicle was located, abandoned in a parking lot in Tracy California. A search of the vehicle revealed a potential suspect through DNA evidence.
However, there were no witnesses to identify the shooter. After some time, phone records were obtained for several of the people considered as suspects in the case. Investigators used license plate reader data and cross reference the activity of phone records for the suspects. This information allowed proof of exculpatory evidence for some of the suspects. Additionally, the LPR and phone data allowed investigators to identify the shooter: the cell phone was at the same location as the license plate scan, which also corresponds with the homicide time and location. This case has been charged by the District Attorney; the ALPR data was crucial in solving the case.

A person was murdered during an attempted carjacking in the 1300 block of 72nd Avenue. After review of video surveillance that took several days, the investigator was able to determine a suspect vehicle description and partial license plate. The investigator searched through thousands of LPR photos with a similar plate and was able to use the images captured by LPR photos to eliminate several thousand vehicles. Fortunately, amongst the thousands of saved images, the investigator was able to find a photo matching the description of the suspect vehicle with the partial license plate characters. The investigator then searched for additional images of the vehicle in multiple LPR systems and found more evidence in the case. Evidence showed that a suspect had reported the license plates as a stolen on the night following the murder. Suspects were later identified; one suspect is currently in custody pending a jury trial.
