Wijziging van het Wetboek van Strafvordering in verband met de regeling van het vastleggen en bewaren van kentekengegevens door de politie

This Dutch legislative procedure proposes changes to the Code of Criminal Procedure (Wetboek van Strafvordering) concerning how the police record and store vehicle registration plate data. Automatic number plate recognition systems capture plate numbers, and the bill sets out the rules for when such data may be collected and how long it may be kept. The procedure is based on metadata only, so the exact content of the amendments is not described here. The changes would mainly affect police authorities and the handling of vehicle data by investigators. Drivers whose number plates are recorded by police cameras or systems could be indirectly affected, as the rules govern how their data is retained. Privacy and data protection considerations are typically central to such rules.
