Important things to know:
A California resident has sued Digital Recognition Network, Inc. (“DRN” or “Defendant”), alleging that it violated California’s Automated License Plate Recognition (“ALPR”) statute by using a series of cameras to create a database that records every license plate that was captured along with the date, time, and GPS location where it was captured without providing the required notice or data protections.
The Court has allowed the lawsuit to be a class action on behalf of “All residents of California whose California license plate data was collected by Defendant Digital Recognition Network, Inc. (either directly or through an affiliate) in the State of California at least fifteen times between June of 2017 and the date of final judgment.”
The Court has not decided whether DRN did anything wrong. There is no money available now, and no guarantee that there will be. Trial is scheduled for June 28, 2024. However, if you take no action, you will be part of the case, you will be bound by the outcome of the case, and you will lose your right to file your own lawsuit based on the same issues.
