Florida’s Department of Transportation (FDOT) has revoked permits for automated license plate-reading (ALPR) cameras on state roads, citing concerns over misuse, privacy, and surveillance. Local law enforcement agencies have 30 days to remove existing cameras, and new installations are halted. This action follows growing scrutiny of ALPR technology, particularly systems from companies like Flock Safety, which allow data capture and searching of vehicle license plates. Multiple Florida sheriffs and police departments, including Jacksonville, Volusia, Seminole, Titusville, and Sanford, have suspended or discontinued their use of ALPR systems due to the uncertainty and privacy issues raised. In Oviedo, the City Council voted to remove Flock cameras and end program funding after public outcry and concerns about data access. Law enforcement officials acknowledge the technology’s effectiveness in solving crimes but emphasize the need for clearer statewide rules to balance public safety and privacy.
