(b)CDCR utilizes subscription-based ALPR information that is collected by other public agencies and private entities that operate ALPR systems and is considered an “end-user” of this information.
(c)ALPR databases shall not be accessed for immigration enforcement. In gathering, sharing, and storing information, CDCR complies with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, including but not limited to, to the extent applicable, the California Values Act (Government Code Section 7284 et seq.).

(2) If feasible, the user should verify an ALPR response through the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (CLETS) before taking enforcement action that is based solely on an ALPR alert.
53060.10 ALPR Data Sharing and Access
(a)In accordance with Civil Code section 1798.90.55, subdivision (b), CDCR shall not sell, share, or transfer ALPR information, except to another public agency (as defined in Civil Code section 1798.90.5, subdivision (f)), and only as otherwise permitted by law.
