ARSD § 64:29:03:10 — Confidential procedure for certain license plates

64:29:03:10. Confidential
procedure for certain license plates. A federal, state, or local law
enforcement or criminal investigative agency desiring license plates whose
ownership is kept confidential may apply to the Division of Motor Vehicles on a
form provided by the division. Such license plates may only be placed on
unmarked vehicles used by the agency for crime detection.
The division shall issue regular
license plates to the agency and shall maintain the confidentiality of the
license plate numbers by not listing them in the division's computer
registration files as belonging to the agency owning the vehicle. The division
shall immediately notify the agency that owns the vehicle if it receives an
inquiry regarding one of the confidential license plate numbers.
When an agency no longer needs a set
of confidential license plates, the agency shall return the plates to the
division.
