The technology
What Flock Cameras and ALPRs Do
Automated license plate readers — best known through the vendor Flock Safety — scan every passing vehicle and feed the results into a searchable database, regardless of whether the driver is suspected of anything.
Photographs Every Vehicle
Every plate that passes a camera is logged — license number, location, and timestamp — building a record of movement with no suspicion required.
Builds a Permanent Location History
Indiana agencies report roughly 690 vehicles detected per camera per day. Even a small deployment maps where residents of Converse drive, worship, seek care, and gather.
Shared With No Statewide Limits
Indiana places no limit on how long this data is kept or who can access it — including out-of-state agencies, federal databases, and private vendors.
Indiana has zero statewide regulation on law enforcement's use of ALPRs
Three gaps in state law leave officers, agencies, and the public without ground rules.
Indefinite Data Retention
Indiana places no limit on how long police can keep ALPR data. Without mandatory deletion rules, agencies can store years of location records from routine scans, allowing long-term monitoring of citizens' movements with no oversight or expiration.
Unrestricted Sharing and Sale of Data
With no rules on who can access ALPR records, officers and agencies can share — or even sell — Hoosiers' location data with whomever they like, including out-of-state agencies, federal databases, and private vendors.
Lack of Transparency and Oversight
Indiana has no statewide standards requiring transparency or oversight for ALPR use. Without clear requirements for audit logs, reporting, or review, it is difficult to verify that ALPR systems are used consistently and according to policy.
