DeSantis Bans Flock LPR Cameras on Florida State Highways

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ordered the removal of Flock license plate reader cameras from the state highway system within 30 days, citing privacy and misuse concerns. A Florida Department of Transportation memo said no new permits would be issued for state right-of-way cameras, and several counties have ended their own LPR programs. Cameras may remain on city or county roads unless lawmakers act next year; the order is an executive directive that could be reversed by a future administration, with a legislative solution anticipated in the spring.
