洛杉矶市议会9比6未拦下警局车牌识别试点：西圣费尔南多谷将装30台设备试行三个月
位于加州洛杉矶县的洛杉矶市，据 MyNewsLA 报道，市议会10月27日经分歧投票后，未能叫停洛杉矶警局（LAPD）为期三个月的自动车牌识别（ALPR）试点，试点将按计划在西圣费尔南多谷推进。
市议员 Hugo Soto-Martinez 动议将试点退回警察委员会进一步审查，但该动议需要10票，仅获9票赞成、6票反对，以一票之差未过。试点位于第3选区，覆盖 Encino、Woodland Hills、Tarzana 等社区。按计划，Axon 分包商 Ubicquia 将在路灯上安装30台车牌识别设备，借路灯自身供电，试点期不向市府收费。警察委员会已于9月批准该试点，市议会10月6日投票主张对试点行使管辖权。
Soto-Martinez 要求先行落实三项保障：由独立第三方审计警局及外部机构以往使用车牌识别数据的情况、由委员会监督对外数据共享、严格限定可使用该技术的人员。他表示：「在安装摄像头之前，我们应该花时间确保制定周密、深思熟虑的保护措施。」投反对票的包括第3选区议员 Bob Blumenfield 以及 John Lee、Adrin Nazarian、Traci Park、Monica Rodriguez 与议长 Marqueece Harris-Dawson 等。
洛杉矶警局称车牌识别有助案件侦查；批评者则担心数据保存、共享与滥用风险，认为分歧投票不等于授权，监督与限制必须在摄像头启用前锁定。本站此前报道，加州多地正就车牌识别摄像头的去留展开表决（见文末关联）。

Los Angeles Council's 9-6 Vote Fails to Halt LAPD License-Plate Reader Pilot: 30 Devices to Be Installed in the West San Fernando Valley
In Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California, the City Council failed on October 27, after a divided vote, to stop the Los Angeles Police Department's three-month automated license-plate recognition (ALPR) pilot, which will proceed as planned in the West San Fernando Valley, MyNewsLA reported.
Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martinez moved to send the pilot back to the Police Commission for further review, but the motion needed 10 votes and failed 9-6, by a single vote. The pilot sits in Council District 3, covering communities including Encino, Woodland Hills and Tarzana. Under the plan, Axon subcontractor Ubicquia will install 30 ALPR devices on streetlights, drawing power from the lights themselves, at no cost to the city during the pilot. The Police Commission approved the pilot in September, and the Council voted on October 6 to assert jurisdiction over it.
Soto-Martinez sought three safeguards first: an independent third-party audit of how LAPD and outside agencies have used ALPR data, commission oversight of external data sharing, and strict limits on who can access the technology. "Before installing cameras, we should take the time to ensure thoughtful, well-considered protections are in place," he said. Those voting against included District 3 Councilmember Bob Blumenfield and Councilmembers John Lee, Adrin Nazarian, Traci Park, Monica Rodriguez and Council President Marqueece Harris-Dawson.
LAPD says license-plate readers help investigations; critics cite data retention, sharing and misuse risks, arguing that a divided vote is not an authorization and that oversight and limits must be locked in before the cameras are switched on. GSM has previously reported votes on plate-reader cameras elsewhere in California (see Related).
