New Hampshire's strict 2016 law restricts use of automated license plate readers to law enforcement with tight data retention rules, preventing companies like Flock from establishing presence. Other states, including Florida, are considering similar restrictions, using New Hampshire as a model.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity, and 17 sources have reported it between 28 Aug 2026 and 8 Oct 2026.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You face a new gatekeeper for camera-based surveillance in the US as states follow New Hampshire’s lead to enforce strict limits on data retention and law enforcement use. This creates a stronger compliance barrier for deploying Flock’s tech, pushing you to rethink market entry and customer contracts now.
