Colorado ALPR law
§ 24-72-113
Requires that video or still images obtained by passive surveillance by governmental entities, such as images from monitoring cameras, must be destroyed within three years after the recording of the images, unless retention is authorized under 24-72-113. Specifies that the custodian of a passive surveillance record may only access the record beyond the first anniversary after the date of creation of the record if there has been a notice of claim filed, or an accident or other specific incident that may cause the passive surveillance record to become evidence in any civil, labor, administrative, or felony criminal proceeding. Creates exceptions allowing retention of passive surveillance records of any correctional facility, local jail, or private contract of prison and passive surveillance records made or maintained as required under federal law.
