Commonly called <strong>Flock cameras<\/strong>, these systems photograph passing vehicles and allow law enforcement to search information including license plates, vehicle descriptions, locations and times of travel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Police say the technology can help locate stolen vehicles, identify suspects and find missing people. But the rapid expansion of Flock cameras has also raised serious questions about privacy, data sharing and government surveillance \u2014 particularly after several cases involving alleged misuse by law enforcement officers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Now Florida is pulling back.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">In August 2026, Governor Ron DeSantis said the use of license plate readers had gotten &#8220;out of control&#8221; and warned against turning Florida into a &#8220;surveillance state.&#8221; On August 31, the Florida Department of Transportation revoked permits for automated license plate readers located within State Highway System rights-of-way and ordered affected cameras removed within 30 days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Several Florida counties and law enforcement agencies are going even further by shutting down their local Flock programs.<\/p>\n<p>So what exactly are Flock cameras, how many are operating in Florida, can they give you a ticket, and why is Florida suddenly removing them? Here&#8217;s what Florida drivers need to know.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2f9b983 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2f9b983\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h1>Frequently Asked Questions About Flock Cameras<\/h1>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f859289 elementor-widget elementor-widget-n-accordion\" data-id=\"f859289\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;default_state&quot;:&quot;expanded&quot;,&quot;max_items_expended&quot;:&quot;one&quot;,&quot;n_accordion_animation_duration&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;ms&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:400,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"nested-accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-n-accordion\" aria-label=\"Accordion.

Deputies previously had access to the system but said they would discontinue using it.<\/p>\n<h3>Holmes County<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The Holmes County Sheriff&#8217;s Office has also announced that it is stepping away from Flock cameras, citing privacy and constitutional concerns.<\/p>\n<h3>Okaloosa County<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The Okaloosa County Sheriff&#8217;s Office announced that it would begin <strong>removing and suspending its automated license plate recognition camera program<\/strong> following FDOT&#8217;s August 31 memorandum.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Other Florida agencies are reviewing their programs as the state&#8217;s position continues to develop.<\/p>\n<p>Because this is happening rapidly, drivers should be careful with claims that a particular county has completely &#8220;banned Flock.&#8221; In some locations the sheriff has stopped using the system; in others cameras are being removed only from certain public rights-of-way; and privately owned cameras may remain.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-26016\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"17\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-26016\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> Are Flock Cameras Still Operating In Miami-Dade, Broward And Other Large Florida Counties?
