Kissimmee, Osceola County Pause Use of License Plate Reader Cameras

Florida DOT revoked permits for license plate reader cameras on state road rights-of-way, giving agencies 30 days to remove them, following Gov. DeSantis's warnings about a 'surveillance state.' Kissimmee (21 cameras) and St. Cloud (36) police are complying; St. Cloud defended the technology's public-safety value, while Orange County's Sheriff's Office says it will keep its system active.
