ALPR law in Arkansas

Arkansas regulates automated license plate readers under Ark. Code Ann. §§ 12-12-1801 to -1808. The statute caps retention at 150 days. Act 668 of 2025 amended Arkansas's 2013 ALPR act to let private landowners and commercial businesses operate readers for property protection. Plate data may be preserved no more than 150 days by government users and 60 days by private landowners and businesses, and government entities may compel release from private users only by valid subpoena.
