October 12, 2023 City of Palm Springs City Council Council Chamber/City Hall 3200 E. Tahquitz Canyon Way, Palm Springs, CA. 92262 Attn: Clerk of the Board Re: Written letter to be entered in the Public record and made available for public Inspection for the October 12, 2023 City Council meeting Agenda Item: 3-A (proposed agreement for (ALPR) Installation/service contract) Dear Palm Springs City Council, In Opposition to the expansion of Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) system in the Palm Springs region. Please oppose the radical surveillance of "everyone" that will drive the Streets of Palm Springs, California with the use of (ALPR's). It's more than reasonable to consider that any and all data (license plate number/car type/and other Identifiers) that will be collected has a high likelihood of being monitored and retained by other City partners (State and federal government agencies). 30 day retention of stored data that cycles every 30 days would still give much desired metrics to government agencies and other institutions - such data is much to valuable to abide by City resolution - The Great State of California had many incidents of approved and NOT approved sharing of private citizens Information. Plus the hacking and Illegal activities surrounding data collection of criminal elements. Palm Springs tourism industry has contractors that collect cell-phone use within this region to predict special Interests in regards to many "money making" metrics in relation to that organization. Public Streets and Public resources (monies) are not intended to be use for surveillance of the Public's movements in real time with Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) systems. Protecting the privacy and Civil liberties of Palm Springs community member's would never mean having the ability to easily monitor vehicles movement and obtaining their private Individuals identities while they are traveling Palm Springs City Streets. "Sensitive" Information (According to Palm Springs Policies) would include vehicle travel to "Abortions/LGBTQ activities and Immigration issues". It's been repeatedly demonstrated that 10/12/2023 Public Comment Item 3A Current City Council members have encourages visitors to come for medical procedures and other non-approved federal government policies. It's only reasonable to consider that Any and All Visitors/Resident's that drive within the City limits will have their movements montoired and forever retained (govermental agencies). Tourism to the Palm Springs region will decrease once the Information becomes known of the "over reach" of Palm Springs City officials (Police Department/City Council) to "Watch" where each vehicle travels throughout the region of Palm Springs including locations such as (questionable Night clubs/Medical complexes/Churches ect). The (ALPR) system has already been suspected in the criminal prosecution of Political representatives. Along with traffic stops of legally driven vehicles (suspiciously the occupies were detained - for non-vehicle incidents) such a system will ONLY help the corrupted to expand their misused of California Residents and Visitors to the Palm Springs region of Southern California. Car rental companies and vehicle leasing agencies appear to be the benefactors with (ALPR) systems. Please opposed this "Over Reach" Sincerely, Brad Anderson | 37043 Ferber Dr. Rancho Mirage, CA. 92270 Ba4612442@gmail.com Cc: 10/12/2023 Public Comment Item 3A From:City of Palm Springs To:City Clerk; City Clerk Subject:*NEW SUBMISSION* Submit Public Comment to the City of Palm Springs Date:Thursday, October 12, 2023 3:31:09 PM Submit Public Comment to the City of Palm Springs Submission #:2760375 IP Address:72.132.245.96 Submission Date:10/12/2023 3:31 Survey Time:4 minutes, 47 seconds You have a new online form submission.

I support the implementation of this program. Privacy and profiling concerns aside, this will aid our police force in keeping our city safe. We should join with the other CV cities in identifying bad actors who come into our community. Thank you. Thank you, City of Palm Springs This is an automated message generated by Granicus.
