Illinois investigates police for sharing license plate data with Texas sheriff

Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias has asked for an investigation into a suburban Chicago police department for allegedly sharing data from automatic license-plate readers with a Texas sheriff seeking a woman who had an abortion. The police department in Mount Prospect, northwest of Chicago, also provided immigration information to outside agencies. Giannoulias was behind a 2023 law that prohibited sharing data from roadside cameras to police for the purposes of tracking abortion patients or undocumented immigrants. Giannoulias has asked the attorney general to investigate and has set up an audit system to ensure future compliance.
