St. Johns County Cameras Under Fire | Jacksonville News

St. Johns County is shutting down Flock license plate cameras on state roads after Florida DOT banned them — a major shift for law enforcement that’s been using the tech since 2017. While the Sheriff says they’ll comply, it’s unclear if all 180 cameras are affected. Governor DeSantis and local activists have long pushed back, raising privacy concerns while critics warn of public safety risks. The Sheriff hints at legislative fixes and ongoing talks with state reps, even as the county spent nearly $900K on the program — mostly covered by grants. The full impact remains uncertain as the county navigates new rules and balances safety with privacy. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
