Responding to Attorney General Todd Rokita's statement that "when you're out in public, you don't have a right to privacy," Eyes Off Indiana points to the Supreme Court's rulings in Carpenter and Chatrie — and urges the General Assembly to set statewide ground rules for ALPR data while the courts work through the legal questions.

ALPR misuse is surfacing in departments across the country, and Indiana has no statewide law governing the technology. Following IMPD’s announcement that an officer used its license plate readers for personal reasons, Eyes Off Indiana calls on the General Assembly to pass statewide safeguards in the 2027 session.

Eyes Off Indiana welcomes the Protection Against Mass Surveillance Act (H.R. 9800), which would cut off the federal funding that lets ALPRs and other mass-surveillance systems be installed in Hoosier communities without local consent — putting the decision back where it belongs, with the people who live there.

After IndyStar coverage of a new IMPD public safety camera downtown, Eyes Off Indiana commends the department for clearly explaining what the camera does, what it does not do, and how it is governed — and reiterates that a camera's public value depends on the rules behind it.

Following the City of Bloomington’s decision to end its contract with Flock Security, Eyes Off Indiana calls for clear, statewide standards governing ALPR data retention, sharing, and oversight.

Indiana Senate passes HB 1150 including language restricting homeowners association use of Automated License Plate Readers, signaling legislative engagement with ALPR technology.

Following the introduction of House Bill 1292, Eyes Off Indiana clarifies that the bill does not apply to ALPR systems and emphasizes the continued absence of statewide standards governing ALPR data.

Following FOX59’s coverage of IMPD’s growing reliance on Flock license plate cameras, Eyes Off Indiana calls for enforceable statewide standards on ALPR data retention, transparency, and oversight.

Eyes Off Indiana secures state nonprofit status, elects inaugural officers, and prepares for federal 501(c)(4) recognition.
