Several US states including Florida, Texas, Washington, New Mexico, Connecticut, and Kentucky have enacted or proposed new restrictions on automatic license plate readers (ALPRs), focusing on limiting data retention, restricting access and use, and protecting privacy against broad surveillance and misuse.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You must revise how your security tech handles ALPR data to comply with tightening state restrictions on data use and retention. These laws limit surveillance risks but also shrink your addressable market where ALPR data can be shared or stored.
