There's nothing here showing the law was broken. Perhaps an inquiry will show otherwise, but there are plenty of reasons ICE via CHP might be looking for a vehicle that aren't related to immigration law enforcement (perhaps they're looking for a truck full of smuggled contraband, for example).

I mean, California Highway Patrol seems to disagree. > “If any CHP personnel requested license plate data on behalf of ICE for purposes of immigration enforcement, that would be a blatant violation of both state law and longstanding department policy,” the spokesperson wrote. “If these allegations are confirmed, there will be consequences.”

  You missed the key phrase "for the purposes of immigration enforcement." If they're looking for a load of meth, it's fair game.

    It's not a key phrase. It's alleged that this particular violation was for that purpose. The law itself - https://calmatters.digitaldemocracy.org/bills/ca_201520160sb34 https://calmatters.digitaldemocracy.org/bills/ca_201520160sb... - doesn't specify immigration purposes. https://www.404media.co/ice-taps-into-nationwide-ai-enabled-camera-network-data-shows/ https://www.404media.co/ice-taps-into-nationwide-ai-enabled-... also indicates a number of specific requests had "immigration" as the given reason.

      You're right, and I apologize. It's just difficult sometimes to not react to easily disprovable falsehoods designed to manufacture a political point. I'll do better in the future.
