🚨 FLORIDA ORDENA RETIRAR CÁMARAS FLOCK DE CARRETERAS ESTATALES #breakingnews

ElOroSigueSiendoMio · 1 month ago

The short version: A Spanish-language news channel reports Florida ordered Flock ALPR cameras removed from state highways, a claim we can't yet independently verify.

Our Take

Creator ElOroSigueSiendoMio is reporting that Florida has ordered Flock Safety cameras pulled off state roadways, framing it as a major blow to the company's expansion. We haven't independently confirmed the underlying order, so treat this as a developing claim rather than settled fact — but the fact that a channel outside the usual English-language privacy press is covering it tells you this story has legs beyond the usual suspects.

If true, it would fit a pattern we've tracked for a while: state agencies and legislators pumping the brakes on blanket ALPR deployment after realizing these networks log every passing driver, not just suspects, and often with little oversight on who can query the data or how long it's kept. Florida has been a heavy adopter of Flock gear, so any pullback on state highways would be a meaningful test of whether political pressure can actually roll back infrastructure once it's installed.

We'll keep digging and update if we can verify specifics. In the meantime, check our camera map to see what's actually deployed near you, and if you want to push back on unchecked ALPR expansion in your own state, our take-action page has concrete steps.
