Florida Bans Flock Cameras From State Highways
schwit1 shares a report from WCTV: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said he's removing Flock camera from state roadways.
The announcement comes amid a growing concern over the misuse of automated license plate readers. On Monday, DeSantis ordered all Flock cameras removed from what he calls the 'state highway system' within the next 30 days, which would include interstates like I-10 and I-75.
That order led to several sheriff's departments like in Franklin, Liberty and Putnam Counties to announce they're ending their own license plate reader programs. According to the Florida Department of Transportation memo, if the cameras aren't removed from the state right-of-ways within 30 days, then the state government will take them down on their own.
The memo also says FDOT will deny any other permits for cameras in the future.
