The Florida Department of Transportation revoked permits for automatic license plate reader (ALPR) technology use on state roads, requiring removal within 30 days amid concerns over surveillance and misuse. Some local agencies have also ended ALPR use on all roads within their jurisdictions.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You must now plan for restricted access to state road data from ALPR cameras in Florida as permits are revoked and agencies remove them under 30 days. This shifts how you comply or build surveillance-adjacent services in the region and raises privacy scrutiny as a regulatory barrier.
