The American Civil Liberties Union is asking police agencies nationwide for details on how they store data captured by automatic license plate readers, which authorities say help fight crime and terrorism and are not used to stockpile information on all drivers.

ACLU affiliates in 38 states and the District of Columbia have joined in asking for the information.
