Mountain View has been allowing statewide police access to their Flock license plate readers for the past year and a half. This data was likely passed on to ICE, in violation of California law, by other police departments in the state.

I am fucking furious that I've been shopping and going out to eat in a town that is helping ICE round up my neighbors. I'm not spending another dime in Mountain View until these things are gone.

Amid immigration crackdown, Mountain View discovers unauthorized access to license plate data

Despite repeated assurances of strict protocols and privacy safeguards, the Mountain View Police Department disclosed this week that it had inadvertently violated its own policies and allowed hundreds of unauthorized law enforcement agencies to search information captured by the city’s license plate cameras for more than a year.
