Kentucky ALPR law

§ 189.632

ALPR use is unlawful except for authorized purposes which include regulating parking, controlling access to secured areas, promoting public safety, deterring crime, addressing auto theft, or conducting criminal investigations. Different agencies are authorized to use ALPR for different purposes. Data shall not be preserved for more than 90 days. Exceptions made for law enforcement for the purposes of evidence, insurance claim investigation, training purposes (however dates, times, and license plate numbers must be redacted) or auditing. Data shall not be sold, shared, accessed, or transferred and provides exceptions including law enforcement sharing, in response to a subpoena, insurance fraud investigations, collateral recovery and loan verification and related to commercial vehicle enforcement. Law enforcement agencies must adopt and make publicly available a written policy governing ALPR use, including database lists, retention rules, training protocols, supervisory oversight, data security rules, and audit processes every 90 days. Officers must visually confirm scanned plate data matches the alert and meet agency policy criteria before performing traffic stops.
