Public records obtained by The Ellis Collective, a student-led research group, reveal that the University of California (UC) system shared data from automated license plate readers (ALPR) at multiple campuses with U.S. Customs and Border Protection and other federal agencies. This data sharing appears to violate California state law. The collective also raised concerns about UC Berkeley's data-sharing agreements for its system of six ALPR cameras, suggesting data may have been shared improperly.
