Started sharing with a new agencyThe Missouri Department of Conservation was added to the agencies the Anoka County Sheriff's Office shares its Flock data with — a state wildlife/conservation agency roughly 500 miles away, not a Minnesota law enforcement partner.
What does this mean?
The agency added another law enforcement agency to its sharing network, letting that agency search its plate data. Minn. Stat. 13.824 allows sharing for legitimate law enforcement purposes and requires any agency that receives the data to follow the same retention and security rules, but each new partner widens who can see where local drivers have been.
