Maine

A 21-day retention cap with law-enforcement exceptions is not statewide removal. The petition still applies.

ALPR statute

29-A M.R.S. § 2117-A — general prohibition on ALPR use, with exceptions for MaineDOT, State Police commercial-vehicle screening, and state/county/municipal LE for public safety, criminal investigations, and legal compliance. Ordinary data that is not intelligence and investigative record information may not be stored more than 21 days. Violation is a Class E crime. Not a collection ban for authorized LE.
