Blaise Ingoglia, Florida's CFO and Fire Marshal, supported the Florida Department of Transportation's decision to remove automated license plate readers (LPRs) from state right-of-ways. [^2]

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis questioned where the data captured by the cameras would be stored and called for legislative action to prevent the state from becoming a digital surveillance state. [^3]

Miami Beach Mayor Steven Meiner stated that FDOT's order would impact approximately half of the city's active license plate readers, located on causeways, Collins Avenue, Alton Road, and parts of 41st Street. [^4]

At least 100 law enforcement agencies in Florida were using Flock LPR cameras before the order was issued, as part of a national network estimated at more than 100,000 cameras. [^5]

Ingoglia stated that removing the cameras is appropriate based on reported misuse of the technology and the need to protect constitutional rights. [^6]
