- ALPR statute
- ESSB 6002 / C 239 L 26, Driver Privacy Act (ch. 10.130 RCW), effective 30 Mar 2026 — 21-day unmatched-read deletion; no collection at listed sensitive places (health care, K–12, worship, courts, food banks among them); agencies may not buy or sell ALPR data; privately held ALPR data only under a probable-cause warrant; a positive match alone does not justify a stop.
- Executive
- Not retrieved. Empty beats a copied neighbor.
- Local
- Olympia listed among communities limiting or ending ALPR as the state tightened the law. At least eight local agencies had enabled Border Patrol sharing in 2025, in some cases without the city’s knowledge.
- Funding / grants
- Not retrieved. Empty beats a copied neighbor.
- Permitting / dirt
- Not retrieved. Empty beats a copied neighbor.
- Privacy
- Among the tighter retrieved regimes. Still not a collection ban for the permitted uses.

Comment for this state
A city fight in Washington is still one of 19,000. A state ban is one of 50. Sign: https://orwellday.com/stop-flock-solution/
