How long should Milton keep your plate data? 52 of you answered.

Milton keeps your plate data for a year. Most of you would keep it a month or less. Sunday’s issue reported the city’s setting, up from 30 days. Tuesday we asked what it should be.

52 readers, one tap each, Tuesday to Wednesday. Not a scientific poll. The gold bar is the city’s current setting.

Sixty percent of the readers who voted want a month or less. Nineteen percent back the current year.

Atlanta writes rules. Mayor Andre Dickens will bring citywide standards for license plate cameras to the Atlanta City Council on Monday, after an audit of more than 100,000 police searches flagged 79 for review.

Milton has 36 cameras and no published standards.

Two cameras you found. After Sunday’s map, a reader told us about a camera at the Lake Haven entrance on Freemanville Road, and on Wednesday another reader pointed us to one on Bethany Bend at the side entrance to the CVS at Highway 9. Neither was on anyone’s map. Both are on ours now, marked as reader finds. See the map. Know another? Reply to this email.
