BACKGROUND

Plaintiff parked his vehicle in a parking garage owned and/or operated by Parking Concepts (the Garage) “multiple times” in 2022 and 2023. 3 When Plaintiff and other customers arrived at the Garage, they “press[ed] a button on a kiosk” and took a printed “parking ticket.” The printed ticket displayed, among other information, the “license plate number” of the vehicle, along with the date and time of entry into the Garage. When leaving the Garage, customers paid at “a pay station” and then drove to the exit, where a kiosk was located in front of a barrier arm. A screen on the kiosk displayed the vehicle’s license plate number and “the barrier arm would automatically lift” to allow the vehicle to exit. Plaintiff sued on behalf of himself and others similarly situated, alleging claims for violations of the ALPR Law, the UCL, and the California Constitution’s right to privacy. The trial court sustained Parking Concepts’ demurrer without leave to amend and issued judgment for Parking Concepts.
