New Hampshire has enforced strict regulations since 2016 limiting automated license plate readers, including a three-minute data retention limit, which prevents companies like Flock from establishing a presence in the state. Other states like Florida are now considering similar restrictions, using New Hampshire as a model to curb license plate-tracking camera usage.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face new regulatory barriers as states adopt New Hampshire’s strict limits on license plate data retention and use. This will cut off proprietary database builds like Flock’s, forcing you to rethink surveillance tech compliance or market focus.
