AI Summary
This bill aims to regulate the use of electronic toll collection technology in Massachusetts. It prohibits using such technology to track vehicle locations for purposes other than toll collection, and requires law enforcement to obtain a warrant before accessing any data collected through toll collection, such as GPS coordinates, vehicle speeds, or license plate information. The bill also makes any data obtained in violation of these provisions inadmissible in criminal or civil proceedings, and allows individuals to file civil lawsuits for damages resulting from improper data sharing. The bill provides an exception for law enforcement to access data without a warrant in emergency situations involving immediate danger of death or serious injury.
