Case
Networked automated license-plate cameras can assemble searchable records of vehicle movements. Candidates and officials disagree over whether to ban the systems, keep them with limits, or defend them as investigative tools. This tracker separates outright bans from narrower restrictions.
Role at the time: Bucks County clerk of courts and Democratic candidate for Pennsylvania Senate, District 6
Statement summary
Pennsylvania Senate candidate Eileen Hartnett Albillar said residents deserve privacy, accountability and transparency and called on Sen. Frank Farry to remove his name from a bill that would expand license plate readers.
“Pennsylvanians deserve safe communities, but they also deserve privacy, accountability and transparency. Sen. Farry should remove his name from this legislation instead of helping expand a surveillance network that puts enormous amounts of personal data into the hands of Big Tech”
The reference point is whether networked license-plate reader systems such as Flock should exist and be used. Hartnett Albillar opposes a bill that would expand plate readers on state infrastructure and calls for privacy, accountability and transparency. She does not call for removing existing systems, so her opposition to expansion and demand for safeguards is conditional rather than a ban.
