The portal listed a retention period of 30 days, after which plate reads are deleted. Retention is the number that decides how much of your ordinary driving is searchable at any moment — a 30-day window means a month of your movements, not just the day you were near a camera.

The portal reported 7 searches of that data in the 30 days before it was captured, against 45,599 vehicle detections over the same period.

It also reported 25 hotlist hits, reads that matched a list the agency or one of its partners had loaded.

307 outside organizations had access to this agency’s plate data when the portal was captured. Sharing is the part of ALPR that surprises people most: a read collected on your street is searchable by departments you have never heard of and never voted for.

A blank field means the portal did not publish that number, not that it was zero. Figures can have changed since 2024; the live portal is the current source.
