Verkada makes cloud-managed physical security products, including AI-enabled cameras and access-control systems, for enterprises and institutions.
Sen. Josh Hawley's bill would make agencies permanently delete license-plate reader data within 10 days unless a criminal investigation is open. Police who trace where a car went weeks ago would lose that search in any case not yet opened.
