Florida is rapidly pulling back from Flock cameras and other automated license plate readers, but calling what is happening a “ban” can create confusion.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Florida has not banned Flock cameras statewide, and in many of the counties described as having “banned” the technology, the cameras themselves have not actually been made illegal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Instead, several different things are happening at the same time.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. On August 31, 2026, the Florida Department of Transportation revoked approvals for automated license plate readers located within State Highway System rights-of-way and ordered affected cameras removed within 30 days. That action applies to cameras installed in state-controlled rights-of-way, not every Flock camera in Florida.<\/li>\n
  2. Separately, some county governments have ordered cameras removed from county-controlled rights-of-way, while a growing number of sheriffs and police departments have terminated contracts, suspended their programs or stopped using Flock altogether.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    <\/p>\n

    But even when a sheriff’s office “bans” or discontinues Flock, that generally doesn’t mean Flock cameras are prohibited throughout that county.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Privately owned cameras may still operate at homeowners associations, gated communities, apartment complexes, shopping centers, businesses and other private properties.<\/strong> Municipal police departments within the same county may also have their own policies and programs.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Below is the current county-by-county status of Flock cameras in Florida as of September 10, 2026.<\/p>\n
