Jacksonville Ends License Plate Surveillance | Jacksonville News

Jacksonville is shutting down its automated license plate readers—known as Flock cameras—after the state ordered their removal from roads, but the city is going further by eliminating them entirely.

The move leaves cities nationwide grappling with how to balance tech-driven safety with personal privacy rights. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
