Virginia Considers Limits to LPR

Virginia legislators recently introduced a bill that would limit how much data police could collect from sources that include license plate readers, and how long they would be able to retain such data.

Virginia State Senator Chap Petersen and Representative Rich Anderson last week introduced legislation that would require police to purge license plate recognition (LPR) information after seven days and limit the number of plates that could be read in the first place; the lawmakers said citizens are concerned about privacy. Similar legislation was tabled last year.
