In a significant backlash against surveillance technology, Florida and Texas have initiated moves to remove Flock cameras and other automated license plate readers (ALPRs) from state highways. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has ordered several counties to comply with the removal of these cameras, citing privacy concerns and the need for clearer regulations. Local agencies across Florida, including those in St. Johns and Collier Counties, have responded by suspending or removing their use of Flock cameras. Meanwhile, some law enforcement agencies, like the Jacksonville Beach Police, continue to use Flock cameras where permitted. Florida lawmakers are debating the future of such surveillance technology, with opinions divided on the balance between crime prevention and citizen privacy. This pushback against surveillance measures reflects a growing trend among Republican lawmakers in red states, who are increasingly questioning the role of technology in law enforcement.
