Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said at a press conference Wednesday that automated license plate cameras such as Flock are "out of control" in the state and called for new privacy regulations, addressing wide public criticism of the AI-powered surveillance technology.
"I'm all about law enforcement having tools to hold criminals accountable," DeSantis told media at Florida International University. "I think that's important that we do that, and no one's been stronger on law enforcement than me, but I don't want to have this become a surveillance state."
