AG Jackley Tackles License Plate Privacy | Pierre News

South Dakota’s Attorney General Marty Jackley is pushing for new rules to govern license plate readers like the Flock cameras, now active in over 300 locations across the state. While law enforcement sees them as vital tools — especially in high-stakes cases like missing children — privacy advocates and lawmakers are raising alarms. Jackley plans to introduce legislation before leaving office to set clear guidelines on data retention, lawful use, and oversight, including possible warrant requirements. Senators Mehlhaff and Jensen are calling for stricter protocols around probable cause and data sharing, while Sioux Falls police insist their system is tightly controlled and deletes images after 30 days — but the sheer scale of daily scans continues to fuel debate.
