Somebody better tell the OKC police chief then. He thinks he can store it for 90 days.
Also, if it's not stored, how do the officers view it at all?
In Ohio, the system reads the plate, then runs a LEADS check. If there's no hit, the data is dumped. If there's a hit, the data stays on the screen. The county sheriff was using these up there, but Columbus PD didn't have the resources to keep up with calls for service, much less hunting stolens like this.
