    Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Calls for Restrictions on Automated License Plate Reader Cameras

    Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is advocating for legislative action to limit the use of automated license plate reader cameras, expressing concern that the technology's rapid expansion could lead to excessive surveillance and privacy invasions. DeSantis specifically targeted Flock cameras, which use AI to track vehicle movements across multiple locations. He warned that without proper controls, these cameras could turn Florida into a 'surveillance state'. DeSantis supports law enforcement using technology to combat crime but opposes generalized surveillance of citizens not under investigation. He suggested looking into New Hampshire's regulations as a potential model for Florida.
