New Jersey

A 2026 sharing statute is not statewide removal. Collection remains lawful.

ALPR statute
P.L.2026, c.4 (Privacy Protection Act, A4070, signed March 25, 2026) — government entities may not sell, share, or transfer ALPR data except to another government entity when permitted by law, a court order/warrant, written consent, or out-of-state LE for a criminal investigation with written certification against civil-immigration use. Not a collection ban and no statewide retention cap.
Executive
AG Law Enforcement Directive 2022-12 (Platkin; effective Jan. 23, 2023): official LE use only; 3-year retention; statewide API sharing (NJ SNAP); annual audits. Operational policy, not a pause.
Local
Princeton resident petition is not a council vote; police say the township does not use Flock. Shamong Township introduced a one-year moratorium Sept. 2, 2026; public hearing Oct. 6, 2026 — not adopted. No named cancellation retrieved.
Funding / grants
Not retrieved. Empty beats a copied neighbor.
Permitting / dirt

Privacy
Sharing limits in P.L.2026, c.4 plus a 3-year AG-directive retention clock. Neither is statewide removal.
