What we do not know
Tehama County Sheriff
- What the office actually operates. No count, vendor, contract or cost is established anywhere.
- Whether the office runs fixed cameras. The policy describes data transferred from vehicles and has no vocabulary for anything on a pole.
- When the Board of Supervisors approved this and at what cost. The board record is in our corpus and unscanned.
- What the regular audits the policy requires have found.
- Whether a three-agency programme with Corning and Red Bluff police departments exists, and if so whose policy governs the shared data.
What license plate readers are
An automated license plate reader photographs every passing vehicle and records the plate, the time and the place. It does not watch suspects. It logs everyone, and the record is usually kept on a vendor’s servers.
