ALPR Usage (Darlington County Sheriff's Office)

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the South Carolina Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

All documents relating to usage of Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) technology by the Darlington County Sheriff's Office, including but not limited to documents indicating:

-scope of ALPR deployment;
-purposes for which ALPR technology is employed;
-means of handling and storing ALPR data;
-extent and timeline for ALPR data storage; and
-protocols and extent of ALPR data sharing between DCSO and other government agencies.

Please include any relevant documents, including but not limited to memos, reports, emails, meeting minutes and contracts.

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.

In the event that fees cannot be waived, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 15 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Chris Meller

Captain Locklair,

Thank you for your help. Traveling to Darlington to review the records would be time- and cost-prohibitive for me (and I've already seen the Raceway, so I wouldn't get to cross anything off my bucket list). Would it be possible to have the records scanned and emailed?

Thanks,

Chris

Capt. McLeod,

Thank you for your response.

Since the data is stored and maintained by SLED, its retention would fall under their policy (which I have). Are there any policies, general orders, etc. surrounding the appropriate use of the data, auditing that use, or the handling and penalties for violations at the Darlington CSO?

Also, I don't necessarily need a copy of all the paperwork, but could you tell me how much the two devices cost, where they were purchased from, and how they were paid for (grant vs. public funds)?

Thank you very much for your help!
