Impact analysis
It won't cost you extra directly, but the city might spend administrative time setting up these new data deletion rules.
Local residents and privacy advocates win big here, as their daily travels won't be stored indefinitely by the police.
Local law enforcement might feel limited since they'll have less long-term tracking data to work with for investigations.
