Some say giving the Albuquerque Police Department more time to store drivers鈥� information from automated license plate readers will help it fight crime more effectively. Others think it is an invasion of privacy.

On Dec. 4, the Albuquerque City Council adopted a resolution sponsored by Councilor Renee Grout to allow APD to keep the data gathered by the readers 鈥� known as ALPR 鈥� for a year. Previously, the department had to purge it after two weeks.

Each reader captures and cross-references license plates and compares them with video footage from incidents, according to Genetec, one of the city鈥檚 ALPR vendors.

It can take months for APD to identify suspects or suspect vehicles, Grout said in an email, adding that 鈥渦nder the two-week restriction, APD was purging evidence before they even knew it was evidence.鈥�

APD Deputy Chief J.J. Griego said the city decided that a year is enough time because it represents a balance between being able to solve a crime and respecting people鈥檚 privacy concerns.

He said the 70 to 80 license plate readers used by the city are moved around as needed but mainly located on busy streets like Central Avenue, where 鈥渨e can capture鈥� the most traffic, Griego said. He added that the only times readers will be used off the major thoroughfares is if they have to be deployed in high-crime areas.

APD acknowledged the role a license plate reader played in helping find suspected rapist Nathanael Huburt last week. The reader not only enabled APD to identify the suspect, but locate the vehicle he was driving, Griego said.

Albuquerque is far from the only city to use license plate readers. Comparably sized places like Tucson are using them as well.

The Tucson Police Department uses three readers, spokesman Sgt. Richard Gradillas said in an email. Any information from them can be stored for up to a year.

Gradillas said, however, because Tucson police use only a few readers, their impact on the community has been minimal. But he said Tucson is hoping to add 50 more next year.

鈥淲e do believe that this is a useful tool to have, and (we) look forward to having more in the field to get a real feel for the impact,鈥� he said.

鈥楳y larger concern鈥�

Not everyone in the city of Albuquerque is a fan of allowing APD to keep people鈥檚 license plate information for a lengthy period of time.

City Council President Pat Davis was one of two councilors (Tammy Fiebelkorn was the other) to vote against Grout鈥檚 resolution because, he said, one year is too much time to have someone鈥檚 information.

鈥淏ut my larger concern is that most residents don鈥檛 know the amount of data APD collects and the reach of the city鈥檚 camera and tracking networks in general,鈥� Davis said. 鈥淭his law sets the city鈥檚 first standard for retention of data like this, so I worry how much and how long we will be keeping facial recognition, CCTV (closed-circuit television), APD drone footage and more in the future.

鈥淚n short, I think this was rushed to pass by the end of the year and it should have involved a much more deliberate and thoughtful process.鈥�

American Civil Liberties Union policing policy advocate Daniel Williams said while there should be a balance between giving law enforcement the proper tools to keep people safe and maintaining someone鈥檚 privacy, APD鈥檚 new yearlong retention policy is 鈥渇ar outside that balance.鈥�

On the other hand, Grout said that because license plates can be publicly seen, 鈥渘o one should have an expectation of privacy when it comes to anything that鈥檚 on the exterior of a car on a public street.鈥�

At the most recent council meeting, Griego said there are parameters in place to ensure that only pertinent information is used during an investigation.

The information is requested through the Real Time Crime Center where the officer provides a case number for lawful purposes, he said, adding that 鈥渢hey need a legitimate (reason) to get that info.鈥�

APD will be requesting additional funding from the state to buy more license plate readers, Griego said, but 鈥渨e don鈥檛 have a number on it, yet.鈥�
