Automated traffic enforcement systems, which raise significant constitutional concerns, are problematic tools used to generate revenue for the government on the backs of ordinary Nevadans, and other communities have paid out tens of millions of dollars in settlements based on faulty systems. From a practical perspective, the Legislature couldn’t exercise oversight of the data collected through these programs because it is not privy to every surveillance tool law enforcement has in its possession and how that data is used. We commend the Nevada Senate for not advancing this bill and encourage the Legislature to be mindful of the harms of automated traffic enforcement systems.”
