New legislation under discussion would impose tighter restrictions on how footage and plate data are collected, stored and accessed, as privacy advocates and local officials press for oversight of the fast-growing surveillance industry.
Why now: Reports of a security breach at a major surveillance provider have prompted legislative action and renewed privacy concerns.
