New Jersey
A 2026 sharing statute is not statewide removal. Collection remains lawful.
New Jersey P.L.2026, c.4 (A4070) — Privacy Protection Act; ALPR sharing limits · N.J. Attorney General Law Enforcement Directive 2022-12 — ALPR use, 3-year retention, NJ SNAP · New Jersey S3035 / A2594 (2026) — ALPR requirements; 2-year retention · Finding Flock — ALPR laws by state (19 statutes read against official text)
- 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
- Not retrieved. Empty beats a copied neighbor.
- Privacy
- Sharing limits in P.L.2026, c.4 plus a 3-year AG-directive retention clock. Neither is statewide removal.

Comment for this state
A city fight in New Jersey is still one of 19,000. A state ban is one of 50. Sign: https://orwellday.com/stop-flock-solution/
