@policebodycamarrestshq: The Florida Department of Transportation has officially revoked all permits for automated license plate readers, including Flock cameras, along state highway rights-of-way. Under a new directive backed by Governor Ron DeSantis, local law enforcement agencies have exactly 30 days to remove the surveillance equipment from state maintained roads, or the state will step in to dismantle them. This sweeping decision comes in response to an exponential increase in camera deployments and growing public outcry over data privacy, alleged mass surveillance, and specific incidents of the technology being misused by personnel to track everyday citizens' movements. Florida isn't alone in the backlash. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ordered a halt to state funding for Flock cameras last week, and more than 100 local governments have canceled or declined to renew their license plate reader contracts since the start of last year, according to the Institute for Justice. Flock Safety says the ban is the wrong response, calling its technology "an important public safety tool." Do you agree with the Flock ban? We certainly do. #lawenforment #flock #florida #cops #police
