Seems like the law was explicitly written to allow sharing data with other law enforcement agencies then narrowed down by Code, § 1798.90.5, subd. (f). https://codes.findlaw.com/ca/civil-code/civ-sect-1798-90-5/
Your link supports my point.
> “Public agency” means the state, any city, county, or city and county, or any agency or political subdivision of the state or a city, county, or city and county, including, but not limited to, a law enforcement agency.
Notably: Not federal. My link to the AG's memo quotes this.
Yes. I am not disagreeing with you that they have narrowed down the definition of law enforcement agency. My comment actually links to the section the AG is quoting.
