Massachusetts
Pending H.3755 would regulate retention and access. It is not law and it is not statewide removal.
Massachusetts H.3755 (194th) — An Act establishing driver privacy protections · Massachusetts Acts 2026 c. 140 — Cambridge parking ALPRs (special act) · City of Cambridge — Statement on the Flock Safety ALPR contract termination · Finding Flock — ALPR laws by state (19 statutes read against official text)
- ALPR statute
- Not retrieved. Empty beats a copied neighbor.

- Not retrieved. Empty beats a copied neighbor.
- Local
- Cambridge terminated its Flock contract (city statement, Dec. 10, 2025) after deactivating 16 cameras in Oct. 2025. Salem (city news, July 23, 2026) is not renewing Flock and is replacing those ALPRs with units under local data control. MSP still operates Vigilant ALPRs.
- Funding / grants
- Not retrieved. Empty beats a copied neighbor.
- Permitting / dirt
- Acts 2026 c. 140 (approved July 14, 2026) is a Cambridge-only special act authorizing parking ALPRs. Not a statewide occupancy instrument.
- Privacy
- No ALPR-specific statute. Commonwealth v. McCarthy (2020) held that enough ALPRs in enough places can be a constitutional search. Shield Law restricts out-of-state sharing on lawful reproductive and gender-affirming care.

H.3755 (194th)
An Act establishing driver privacy protections
Reported favorably; referred House Ways and Means March 23, 2026 — pending. Would cap ALPR retention at 14 days and require a warrant to access another entity’s data. Not a collection ban.
Comment for this state
A city fight in Massachusetts is still one of 19,000. A state ban is one of 50. Sign: https://orwellday.com/stop-flock-solution/
