Senator Hassan Pressures Company Over License Plate Scanner Compliance in New Hampshire
What happened
Senator Maggie Hassan is requesting that a leading provider of license plate scanner technology disclose its compliance with state law in New Hampshire. The company was asked to share information regarding the number of cameras installed in the state and how it handles captured images. Hassan warned that the company's system may undermine the privacy rights of Granite Staters.

Why it matters
The pressure relates to a New Hampshire law that severely limits the use of license plate scanners, prohibiting image storage for more than three minutes unless flagged for a specific law enforcement purpose. Regulatory scrutiny of this surveillance technology could affect market adoption and operational costs for providers of the system.
