Legal Question in Technology Law in Ohio
I go to a local recycling center in Milford, Ohio & they take down my license plate and scan my drivers license. Is that legal? What laws do they have to abide when it comes to the storage of that info? I asked the clerk and she had no idea how long they keep it or how it is stored.
