Miami Beach Pauses License Plate Tech | Miami News

Miami Beach city commissioners have paused their plan to remove license plate readers from state roads, voting unanimously for a 90-day halt to beef up privacy protections on existing systems. Facing a looming deadline to clear the tech or risk state intervention, officials are now racing to strike a balance between crime-fighting tools and civil liberties. Mayor Steven Meiner backs the Flock cameras, crediting them for boosting public safety, while commissioners explore relocating devices to private property and assessing whether a $50K budget can fund upgrades. The next big decision looms October 14th — when they’ll unveil their revised strategy to keep surveillance effective without compromising privacy.
