Florida did not ban Flock cameras from the entire state.

They revoked permits for all license plate readers, including Flock, from state roads.

Local roads are unaffected by this order.

> Monday’s order did not affect cameras on private property or on local rights-of-way — where 98% of the surveillance cameras are located

It's true that the order only impacts state highways. It removes approximately 700 license plate readers and then also leaves thousands still up locally. However, in my county, the Sheriffs dept is actually taking them down voluntarily, because of the positive political reception of the state-road ban. And its happening in other jurisdictions near me.

A lot of people instinctively believe Florida only does dumb stuff, but we really do have quite responsive people in charge here. From where I sit, I see good movement on the whole Flock issue in my state and county.
