DeSantis Orders License Plate Camera Shutdown | California News

Governor Ron DeSantis is ordering the removal of license plate reader cameras from Florida’s state highways within 30 days, citing privacy fears and growing surveillance concerns. While supporting law enforcement tools, he warns against unchecked monitoring and calls for an AI bill of rights. The move follows reports of misuse — including tracking ex-partners — sparking debate over balancing public safety with individual rights. Flock Safety, a major tech provider, is rolling out new safeguards like mandatory audits and reduced data retention, but critics say these don’t fix the core issue: a searchable record of everyone’s movements. For now, no new cameras will be installed on state roads, and the future of this tech hinges on legislative action.
