圣何塞开始限制车牌数据的使用权限！禁止用来调查移民身份！
San Jose is tightening rules around how police officers can use license plate data, hoping to build more trust with residents as the city prepares to expand its use of automated cameras.
圣何塞正在收紧有关警察如何使用车牌数据的规定，希望在该市准备扩大自动摄像头的使用之际，在居民中建立更多的信任。
The updated rules are a key part of the city’s digital privacy program to help ensure its mass surveillance and information gathering systems don’t violate individual rights.
更新后的规则是该市数字隐私计划的关键组成部分，以帮助确保其大规模监控和信息收集系统不侵犯个人权利。
The San Jose City Council unanimously approved a policy Tuesday that formally bans the police department from selling any license plate data, using that information for investigating a person’s immigration status or for monitoring legally protected activities like protests or rallies.
圣何塞市议会周二一致通过了一项政策，正式禁止警察部门出售任何车牌数据，使用这些信息来调查一个人的移民身份，或监控抗议或集会等受法律保护的活动。
Even with these new rules, some privacy advocates and community groups are still opposed to the technology.
即使有了这些新规定，一些隐私倡导者和社区组织仍然反对这项技术。
Victor Sin, chair of the Santa Clara Valley Chapter of ACLU of Northern California, expressed doubt that the readers are improving public safety. He made the comments in a letter to the council from himself and leaders of four other community organizations.
北加州公民自由联盟圣克拉拉谷分会主席维克多·辛(Victor Sin)对电子阅读器能否改善公共安全表示怀疑。他在一封由自己和其他四个社区组织的领导人联名致议会的信中发表了上述评论。
“Despite claims that (automated license plate reader) systems can reduce crime, researchers have expressed concerns about the rapid acquisition of this technology by law enforcement without evidence of its efficacy,” the letter reads.
信中写道:“尽管声称(自动车牌读取器)系统可以减少犯罪，但研究人员对执法部门在没有证据证明其有效性的情况下迅速掌握这项技术表示担忧。”
Groups including the Asian Law Alliance and San Jose-Silicon Valley NAACP also said the city should reduce the amount of time it keeps license plate data on file down from one year.
包括亚洲法律联盟和圣何塞-硅谷NAACP在内的组织也表示，该市应该将车牌数据的存档时间减少到一年。
While the city has been using license plate readers since 2006, it didn’t develop its first official use policy for the technology and its data until 2017, city reports said.
该市报告称，尽管该市自2006年以来一直在使用车牌读取器，但直到2017年才制定了首个官方使用该技术及其数据的政策。
License plate readers in the city have been mounted exclusively on police patrol cars until recently. In September 2021, the city council approved a pilot program for the intersection of Monterey Road and Curtner Avenue following three unsolved, fatal hit and runs that occurred there.
直到最近，该市的车牌识别器都只安装在警车上。2021年9月，在蒙特雷路和科特纳大道的交叉口发生了三起未解决的致命肇事逃逸事件后，市议会批准了一项试点项目。
Four stationary cameras from Atlanta-based firm Flock Safety are mounted at the intersection, and captured nearly 300,000 plate scans in just the last month, according to city data. The council also approved spending $250,000 on more cameras in response to high-profile Bay Area retail robberies in November.
根据城市数据，位于亚特兰大的Flock Safety公司在十字路口安装了4台固定摄像头，仅在上个月就捕捉到了近30万张车牌扫描图。该委员会还批准花费25万美元购置更多摄像头，以应对去年11月发生在旧金山湾区的几起备受关注的零售抢劫案。
Mayor Sam Liccardo said he’s already convinced the readers are useful, but added the council should try to find a way to measure their effect.
市长山姆·利卡多说，他已经相信是有用的，但补充说，委员会应该试图找到一种方法来衡量他们的效果。
“It’s probably not a bad idea for us to decide what are the outcomes we’re trying to achieve, and if there is some reasonable metric that captures that outcome in a meaningful way,” Liccardo said. “Was this used to actually help us arrest anybody, or solve a crime or prevent an accident?”
利卡多说:“决定我们想要达到的结果可能不是一个坏主意，如果有一些合理的指标能够以一种有意义的方式捕捉到结果。”“它真的被用来帮助我们逮捕任何人、破案或防止事故吗?”
Overall, San Jose is planning to eventually add about 150 license plate readers around the city, but officials didn’t specify how soon that would happen.
总的来说，圣何塞计划最终在全市增加约150个车牌识别器，但官员们没有具体说明这将何时实现。
Albert Gehami, San Jose’s digital privacy officer, told councilmembers the city has been collecting feedback on concerns about surveillance technology—including how it could be misused to target vulnerable communities—and has tried to address those concerns in the updated policy.
圣何塞的数字隐私官员阿尔伯特·格哈米(Albert Gehami)对议员们说，圣何塞一直在收集有关监控技术的担忧的反馈，包括它如何被滥用到针对脆弱社区的问题，并试图在更新的政策中解决这些担忧。
Gehami said there is an auditable trail for all officers who use the data from license plate readers, which requires them to input a purpose for the data along with their badge number, among other information.
格哈米说，所有使用车牌读取器数据的警官都有可审计的追踪记录，这要求他们输入数据的用途，以及他们的警徽号码和其他信息。
“So that afterwards, we can audit and make sure that log shows exactly how the technology is being used,” Gehami said.
Gehami说:“这样之后，我们就可以进行审计，并确保日志准确显示了技术是如何被使用的。”
While Liccardo said the potential privacy risk from license plate readers isn’t as great compared to the potential risks from other emerging technologies the city is testing, such as gunshot detection systems, he acknowledged concerns of others.
虽然利卡多说，与该市正在测试的其他新兴技术(如枪击探测系统)的潜在风险相比，车牌读取器的潜在隐私风险并不大，但他承认其他人也有担忧。
“I certainly don’t blame anyone in the community for being concerned and flinching whenever there’s discussion about the government collecting information about us, it’s a healthy reflex,” Liccardo said. “We’re Americans, that’s what we do.”
利卡多说:“我当然不会责怪社区里的任何人在讨论政府收集我们的信息时感到担忧和退缩，这是一种正常的回应。”“我们是美国人，这就是我们的工作。”
