AB 1160: Military equipment.
This bill would prohibit law enforcement agencies from purchasing certain unmanned vehicles unless they contain an option to turn off unnecessary data collection programs. The vehicles must also use an American data storage company to house all collected data, including video and photographic images. For vehicles purchased before 2027, law enforcement agencies would need to use an American data storage company starting from 2027. Existing vehicles would need to switch to an American data storage company when their current contract expires. The bill would also require the storage company to prohibit sharing the data with any other entity.
