If you are concerned about the use of ALPR cameras in town, please go to the city council meeting this Tuesday, Aug. 18, at 6:30pm. We need lots of people to get up and speak, and demand that the city open this issue up for discussion.

When these cameras were put up back in 2023, they were voted on as a "consent" item at council- they weren't debated or discussed - it was just a yes or no vote!!

We must demand that council add this to a future meeting as an AGENDA item so that the community gets a chance to weigh in.

California SB34 (effective Jan 1, 2016) has specific requirements for transparency when a municipality uses ALPR cameras. One of those requirements is a "conspicuously posted" link on the municipality's website that links directly to the data usage and privacy policy that is in place. Lompoc's cameras went up in early 2023 (?!), but Lompoc JUST put their web link up a WEEK ago. The city was in violation of SB34 for over 3 years. Not a big builder of confidence and trust. 😒

Summary of SB34 requirements from AG Bonta:

I will be relocating from Australia to Lompoc, and trying to look for an apartment or house to rent. Everywhere I’ve enquired required 3 x earnings to rent. Being that I’m going to be newly arrived in the US I can’t show that. does anyone know of any places or management companies that don’t require that. Happy to even pay months upfront.

Hello, does anyone by any chance know the routes of the Driving Test here in Lompoc, I have my test in a few weeks and want hints on what would be on the actual test.

Hi I’m looking to move my family near college and pine area. Is it really as dangerous as people say?

I have a wake boat in need.

County Health Department Confirms Measles Case
