A child’s lifelong injuries: The $250K medical malpractice cap
The short version: Atlanta News First's investigation into Florida's medical malpractice caps is a compelling accountability story — but it's outside DeFlock's ALPR and surveillance beat.
Our Take
Atlanta News First, via reporter coverage embedded above, dug into how Florida's $250K cap on pain-and-suffering damages leaves families with lifelong injuries holding the bag while institutions face limited exposure. That's a real and important accountability story, and credit to the newsroom for the investigative legwork.
It's just not our lane. DeFlock USA exists to track automated license plate readers, Flock Safety's camera network, and the broader push toward dragnet surveillance of everyday movement. We don't have independent reporting on malpractice law, so we won't pretend to add informed commentary here beyond flagging that it's a story worth your attention on its own merits.
If you came here looking for our usual coverage, that's still just a click away — check our camera map to see what's watching your plates, and visit take action if you want to push back on surveillance infrastructure in your own community.
