# Minneapolis police pushing for more license plate data privacy - Host: [arstechnica.com](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/hosts/arstechnica.com/) - Saved: November 3, 2012 (2012-11-03T12:40:31Z) - Record: https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/a195a2cc645d/ - JSON: https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/a195a2cc645d.json ## From the page (probably an excerpt, not Jamie's words) In a meeting Thursday, the Committee of the Whole Agenda heard discussions regarding a new proposal from the city police department that would restrict access to license plate reader records. Under the proposed rules, only the police would have access to the entire database, and a non-police individual would only be able to access the data that pertained to his or her car. Currently, a rather liberal open records state law known as the Data Practices Act makes all government data public by default. If approved by the Minneapolis city council, such changes could be put forward to the state legislature as soon as next year. ## Facts - Kind: [Page](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/kinds/page/) ## Same host - [A Fort Knox for Web crypto keys: Inside Symantecs SSL certificate vault](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/91a21dd14859/) (arstechnica.com, November 5, 2012) - [The spy in your inbox](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/1bf1e7214864/) (arstechnica.com, November 6, 2012) - [WordPress now accepting payment in Bitcoin](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/38178677db49/) (arstechnica.com, November 16, 2012) - [Wii U teardown shows a whole lot of wirelessness](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/12888cf785e0/) (arstechnica.com, November 19, 2012) - [Your criticisms are completely wrong: Stallman on software patents, 20 years in](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/150a93188225/) (arstechnica.com, November 21, 2012) ## Saved the same week - [Look!
