Oviedo Revisits License Plate Surveillance | Orlando News

Oviedo is reevaluating its controversial license plate reader program, eight cameras tracking vehicles entering and exiting the city—capturing plates, make, model, and timestamps—to aid law enforcement. Sparked by resident outcry over Fourth Amendment violations and unproven effectiveness, the system, leased from Flock Group, faces mounting scrutiny. Critics like John Powers call it an invasion of privacy and presumption of guilt, urging removal. The city council’s upcoming Monday evening meeting will decide the future of this surveillance tech amid heated debate over safety versus civil liberties.
