On Monday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis ordered all Flock spy cameras to be taken offline.
Flock are you out of your flocking mind?
The Governor told reporters that he doesn’t want to see “a digital AI surveillance state where everything we do is being tracked at all times.’
DeSantis went on to say that he believes that LPR (License Plate Readers) can be useful.’
When LPRs are used at toll plazas, they help to keep traffic moving along the highway.
They also prevent motor vehicle congestion.
LPRs at toll plazas help track scofflaws.
That is a legitimate reason for using LPRs.
LPRs installed at toll booths allow law enforcement officers to catch those who refuse to pay the toll fare that everyone else does.
Governor Ron DeSantis’ decisive action to remove Flock spy cameras shows that leaders can protect citizens’ safety and privacy when they listen to public outcry.
Over the past several months, there has been an outcry from most strong Americans demanding that the government stop stalking them.
Citizens living in the land of the brave, the home of the brave, have an aversion to being stalked.
After DeSantis’ order went into effect, Miami-Dade Sheriff Rosie Cordero ordered the Flock Spy cameras, invasive and unsettling practices, to be taken offline.
