Illinois Officials Investigate License-Plate Data Shared with Police Seeking Woman Who Had Abortion
- The Illinois Secretary of State’s office announced it is investigating after police in Mount Prospect shared license plate information with a Texas sheriff who was searching for a woman believed to have had a self-induced abortion.
- This incident occurred after Illinois implemented a law in 2023 that prohibits sharing license plate information with out-of-state agencies for the purpose of tracking individuals seeking abortions or undocumented immigrants.
- The Texas sheriff issued a nationwide request to Flock Safety's 83,000 cameras, including those in Mount Prospect, which has also shared plate data in 262 immigration-related cases this year.
- Giannoulias directed Flock Safety to restrict access for 62 out-of-state agencies that were violating state regulations, noting that Texas authorities found a way to bypass Illinois law and improperly obtain license plate information from the state.
- Illinois is launching audits to ensure compliance with the law, aiming to protect personal data and prevent out-of-state surveillance of abortion seekers and undocumented immigrants.
