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: Democratic nominee for Ohio attorney general and Upper Arlington council member
Statement summary
Kulewicz called for a broad Ohio data privacy law that would limit what companies such as Flock may collect and how the information may be used. He argued that a plan to punish misuse after it occurs does not go far enough.
“Any legislation should limit the collection and use of personal data and ban the misuse of any collected data”
He seeks limits on collection and use without taking an explicit all-or-nothing position on the cameras' existence.
