Rekor urges national vendor-neutral standard for responsible ALPR use

• Rekor Systems urged a national, vendor-neutral standard for automated license plate recognition amid rising political and civil-liberties backlash.
• Framework calls for real-time alerts only on legally authorized hotlists; non-matches would be immediately encrypted or tokenized.
• Re-identification of protected historical data would require a validated warrant or court order, with auditable logs and no bulk unlocking.
• Retention would vary by purpose and severity for hotlist-related records, with automatic expiration, legal holds, and restricted cross-jurisdiction sharing.
• Proposal also seeks cryptographic authentication of supporting video at capture to strengthen evidentiary integrity in investigations and court proceedings.
