HB1631 would prohibit photographic traffic signal enforcement systems from operating or being used by law enforcement.
The Texas State Senate passed HB1631 on May 17, 2019 by a vote of 26 to 5. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because this bill would protect the privacy rights of Texas citizens and rein in governmental surveillance. Increasingly, privacy is being stripped away from citizens in the name of safety, but this is not what the Founders wanted for our nation.
