License Plate Readers Bill SB 1111 | March 4, 2026 | Committee of the Whole Passage

Arizona's License Plate Reader Bill SB 1111 | MARCH 4, 2026 | Committee of the Whole Passage During floor debate on Arizona SB1111, Arizona Senator Jake Hoffman delivered a sweeping constitutional defense of privacy rights, introducing a floor amendment he says would dramatically narrow the scope of AI-powered license plate reader surveillance. Sen. Hoffman argued his amendment would limit automated license plate readers to surveilling only government vehicles on secured government property surrounded by barriers, and explicitly prohibit the cameras from observing public rights-of-way. The second portion of the amendment would bar general public surveillance and impose civil penalties ranging from $25,000 to $250,000 per violation, per day, along with creating a private right of action allowing citizens to sue if their rights are infringed. “The Fourth Amendment is not a suggestion. It is a command to government. You do not search people without probable cause and without a warrant,” Hoffman said on the Senate floor. “A government that watches everything controls everything.” He warned that surveillance technology is accelerating beyond traditional oversight, describing artificial intelligence capable of analyzing voice, face, gait, and behavior at a scale no human surveillance force ever could. “This is a constitutional end run,” Hoffman stated. “The Fourth Amendment does not disappear because the government found a loophole in the app store. Once surveillance infrastructure is built, it is never dismantled — it is only expanded. It is only repurposed.” The Hoffman amendment was ultimately defeated, and SB 1111 advanced with a Do Pass recommendation. TIME CODES 00:00 Sen.
