What does this mean?
One or more camera locations no longer appear on the agency's entry in the Minnesota BCA's public roster of license plate reader users. A dropped location can mean a camera was taken down or moved, or that the listing was only edited; the roster does not say which. Plate reads already collected can stay on file, since Minn. Stat. 13.824 requires destruction within 60 days only for reads not tied to an active investigation. The roster covers every ALPR vendor, not just Flock Safety.
