In effect, the enactment of H3404 would limit the retention and sharing of ALPR data and help prevent it from entering into permanent federal databases.
Maryland law already puts limits on the use of ALPRs. Law enforcement agencies can only use captured ALPR data for "the investigation, detection, or analysis of a crime or a violation of the Maryland vehicle laws or the operation of terrorist or missing or endangered person searches or alerts." HB1081 would take another step by limiting the sharing of captured ALPR data.
Under the proposed law, “entities” using ALPRs, including Kentucky law enforcement agencies, local government agencies, and homeowner's associations, could only retain collected data for 30 days unless the data is being used in a criminal or insurance claim investigation, become subject to a subpoena duces tecum or preservation of evidence notification; or is being used for toll collection activities on highways and bridges.
