Tennessee ALPR law

§ 55-10-302; § 10-7-504 (32)(a)

Provides that any captured data collected by a government entity may not be stored for more than 90 days unless they are part of an ongoing investigation, and in that case provides data to be destroyed after the conclusion of the investigation. Captured plate data from ALPR systems must be treated as confidential and shall not be open for inspection by members of the public.
