Privacy.** - **(a)** - **(1)** Captured plate data or data obtained from the Office of Motor Vehicle may be disclosed only: - **(A)** To the person to whom the vehicle is registered; - **(B)** After the written consent of the person to whom the vehicle is registered; or - **(C)** If the disclosure of the data is permitted by the Driver's Privacy Protection Act of 1994, 18 U.S.C. § 2721 et seq., as it existed on January 1, 2013. - **(2)** Practice and usage data compiled and preserved under § 12-12-1806 are a public record for purposes of the Freedom of Information Act of 1967, § 25-19-101 et seq. - **(b)** Upon the presentation to an appropriate governmental entity of a valid, outstanding protection order protecting the driver of a vehicle jointly registered with or registered solely in the name of the individual against whom the order was issued, captured plate data shall not be disclosed except as the result of a match under § 12-12-1803(b). *History.* Added by Act 2013, No. 1491, § 1, effective August 16, 2013. ## Notes - **Tier 2 — primary public record.** This is the codified text of an Arkansas statute. The Arkansas General Assembly's site (`arkleg.state.ar.us`) serves current Arkansas Code text only through a viewer that is not deep-linkable or machine-retrievable, so Justia's current-edition reproduction of the Arkansas Code of 1987 (2024 edition) is used as the retrievable authoritative source. Justia's own page carries a disclaimer that its codes "may not be the most recent version." - **Currency.** The section's history line records a single enactment — Act 2013, No. 1491 — and no subsequent amendment. The 2024-edition text is therefore the operative text of § 12-12-1808 as of this archive date. - **Retrieval.** Automated retrieval failed across the board: the host returned HTTP 403 to the in-tool web fetcher, to a workstation HTTP request, and to the containerized fetcher, and the Wayback Machine held no capture of the canonical URL. The page was saved from a browser on the maintainer's workstation and ingested from `Downloads` — the same provenance pattern used for FOIA productions. - **Scope.** This archive covers § 12-12-1808 only. The remaining sections of the Automatic License Plate Reader System Act (§§ 12-12-1801 – 12-12-1807), Arkansas FOIA § 25-19-105, and the federal Driver's Privacy Protection Act remain to be archived; see `HANDOFF.md`. - **Cited by:** see the `citing_pages:` frontmatter above.
