An 18-month cap is not statewide removal.

ALPR statute

23 V.S.A. § 1607 (automated license plate recognition systems; current text effective July 1, 2025) — ALPR use and active-data access restricted to legitimate law-enforcement purposes. Information gathered shall be retained only 18 months, then destroyed. Queries of active data require specific and articulable facts. After six months, historical data release under warrant or court order. DPS maintains the statewide storage system. Not a collection ban for permitted uses.
