🚨 FLORIDA IS PULLING FLOCK CAMERAS 🚨
The short version: Digital Dope reports Florida officials are pulling Flock ALPR cameras, a sign that public pushback on license-plate surveillance is gaining real traction.
Our Take
Credit to Digital Dope for flagging this one: Florida pulling Flock cameras off its roads isn't just a local story, it's a signal. For years the pitch from Flock Safety and the police departments that buy its hardware has been "this is inevitable, everyone's doing it." When a state actually reverses course, that narrative cracks. It shows elected officials and agencies can walk back these contracts when residents push back hard enough.
We don't have the granular details on what drove this specific decision, and we're not going to speculate beyond what's been reported. But the pattern matters more than any single county. ALPR networks get sold quietly, deployed fast, and rarely get a public vote. Removal is the exception, not the rule, which is exactly why it deserves attention when it happens.
If you want to see how dense Flock's footprint is near you, check our camera map, and if you'd rather not wait for your city to make the news, our take-action page has concrete steps for pushing back locally.
