Action News Jax Investigates has uncovered some license plate readers (LPRs) on state roads in Florida are not complying with the law.
LPRs are supposed to help deputies find people wanted on warrants or even missing children, but there are questions about their location and if the technology goes too far.
The LPRs belong to a company called Flock Safety based in Atlanta. Becker learned in addition to St. Johns County, Clay, and Nassau counties also lease the devices for tens of thousands of dollars per year.In 2022, the American Civil Liberties Union warned that Flock is building a mass surveillance system “unlike any seen before in American life.”
Since 2018, SJSO said 393 stolen cars have been recovered, 107 wanted people arrested, and 72 missing people recovered. “What if they stop you, search your car, detain you for 45 minutes call a dog the dog sniffs around and doesn’t find anything what about it then,” said Carson. Deputies said they only look at the data if there’s a reason connected to crime. “Law enforcement isn’t in the business of invading people’s rights,” said Harrigan. “This is about saving lives and solving crimes.”
