Florida Politics reports Sheriff Bob Gualtieri presented for more than an hour at Thursday’s Pinellas County Commission work session on Automated License Plate Recognition Deployment (26-1501A). Commissioners did not take formal action that day on Commissioner Vince Nowicki’s proposal to end county ALPR contracts, subscriptions, and data-sharing and remove cameras from county-controlled roads and rights-of-way. WFLA also covered the workshop. Bay News 9 (Spectrum) reports the sheriff told commissioners the county has 79 stationary cameras from several vendors (Motorola, Axon, Flock) and that the Flock Safety contract costs $287,000 per year. He said he supports tighter audits and new rules from the Legislature. After the session Commissioner Nowicki said it was clear most of his colleagues did not want to end the ALPR contracts, and Commissioner Rene Flowers said she is comfortable with how the sheriff's office uses the system. Those are commissioner remarks to the press, not a vote. Nowicki's proposal is still not adopted. Legistar still shows minutes as Draft and no attachments for 26-1501A as of Fri morning 9 Oct. A work session is a briefing. It is not a vote. It is not a county pull.

The Pinellas sheriff announced charges on 30 Sep against two former deputies accused of misusing law enforcement databases, including plate reader searches, to pursue romantic interests (Bay News 9). Tampa Bay 28 reports the sheriff called the office’s earlier audit approach inadequate and plans closer checks for repeated searches of one plate. Florida Politics tied the cases to the Oct 8 county work session, where the sheriff presented an ALPR overview. Charges are not convictions. The work session was a briefing, not a vote.

News4JAX reports St. Johns County commissioners agreed Tuesday to put the sheriff’s Flock plate reader cameras on their 20 Oct agenda, to take public comment and discuss whether to permit the cameras on county rights-of-way. A commissioner asked for it after a promised roundtable with law enforcement never happened. The sheriff wants the county-road cameras to stay and says roughly half of about 182 cameras come down under the FDOT state-road order. Cameras on county roads stay up for now. Putting it on an agenda is not a vote.

WFTV reports the Volusia County Council voted 6–0 Tuesday to approve a one-year moratorium on license plate readers, including Flock cameras. It stops use and new installs. WKMG says the vote also revokes permits for 79 readers on county-maintained roads. Flock has 30 days to take its cameras down. If it does not, the county will have them removed at public cost; WKMG gives Nov. 5 as the date. Sheriff Mike Chitwood, who had already switched the readers off after FDOT’s state-road order, asked for a moratorium instead of an outright ban and told WFTV he expects the cameras to come back if the Legislature writes rules. Official minutes are not on this page. This is a council moratorium plus removal on county right-of-way, for one year.

Acting Chief Brett Owen said TPD received FDOT's notice and will fully comply. The 17 ALPRs in State Highway System right-of-way come down within 30 days. The department did not say whether 17 is every TPD reader. The Times previously reported that TPD said it has 25 Flock cameras; that remains a Times account of a department statement. TPD says access is limited to investigative personnel with a legitimate law-enforcement need, and that since 2021 ALPRs assisted with 622 arrests, 485 recovered vehicles, 68 recovered firearms, and 14 located missing people. Those numbers are a department claim, not an independent audit. St. Petersburg PD spokesperson Yolanda Fernandez told Axios the city will remove six cameras on state roadways and will not make any other changes. Pinellas Sheriff Bob Gualtieri told Axios PCSO will comply with the FDOT order but has no plans for a broader overhaul. Commissioner Brian Scott said Gualtieri is set to present on ALPRs at an Oct. 8 meeting Scott requested; the county has limited power over the sheriff. HCSO Public Relations Coordinator Hannah Oliveto told Florida Politics the office will review all ALPR locations and remove any in FDOT right-of-way. It has not named a count. Axios reported HCSO will comply, with no larger program change indicated.

FDOT revoked existing permits for automated license plate readers that local law enforcement put in the right-of-way of the State Highway System. New permits are paused. Agencies have 30 days to take the devices down, or FDOT will. The memo is LPR systems. It is not Flock-only. An Axon pole on a state road would come down too.
The memo does not cover city streets, county roads, private property, or in-car readers. Friday, DeSantis said he would "clear the state right-of-ways." NBC prints him saying 98% of the cameras sit on private property or local right-of-way. Press also reprints his earlier estimate of about 7,500 Florida readers, most of them local. This is a state-road pull. It is not a statewide camera pull. It is not a vendor swap to Axon. Tampa PD's city contract is not FDOT.

The city is under contract with Flock through 2028 and pays $51,000 a year. This is a six-month pause, not a contract cancel. It is a California item, not a Florida clerk packet.

The Fayetteville City Council voted 7–0 Tuesday to approve an ordinance that bars city money and city property from being used to buy, lease, install, run, or pay for access to automatic license plate reader systems such as Flock. The city’s police department does not use them now, so sponsors called it a preemptive step. A plate reader used only for parking tickets is exempt, and the city can still receive information from other agencies at no charge. Private plate readers in the city are not affected.

KQED reports a Santa Clara County judge on Friday dismissed the state lawsuit the ACLU of Northern California and the Electronic Frontier Foundation brought against San José’s network of nearly 500 Flock license plate readers. The judge found the network does not violate the right to privacy in the California Constitution, leaning on a 2024 state appeals ruling about San Diego traffic cameras. EFF says it is disappointed and may appeal. A separate federal Fourth Amendment suit by three San José residents is still pending.

WECT and Port City Daily report the Atkinson Board of Commissioners in Pender County voted unanimously on October 1 to pass an ordinance that bars automated license plate reader cameras from being installed or operated inside town limits. It took effect October 2 and covers any vendor, Flock included. WECT calls it the first outright ALPR ban by a local government in North Carolina. The ordinance cites the town's state-law power to regulate acts that harm public health and safety, and says the board does not want anyone subjected to an unreasonable search. Port City Daily says commissioners were not told before a camera went up in town last year. WECT says the sheriff leases eight Flock cameras and none are in Atkinson now.

404 Media reports a federal judge in Oklahoma ruled Thursday that a Tulsa County sheriff's deputy violated a driver's Fourth Amendment rights by running her plate through Flock without a warrant. The court found no apparent reason for the search beyond an out-of-state plate. That one search returned more than 50 records of where the car had been over a month. The judge ordered the Flock evidence and everything found in the car search that followed suppressed, and wrote that the network is "a type of indiscriminate mass surveillance." TechCrunch calls it one of the first times a federal judge has ruled a Flock search unconstitutional. The ruling does not set binding precedent, and Flock says it expects an appeal.

Grace Schulte filed a federal class action in the Northern District of Georgia (1:26-cv-04843) against Flock Group Inc. Press on 2-4 Sep reprints the 25 Aug filing. The complaint alleges invasion of privacy and failed safeguards and seeks a nationwide class of people whose plates Flock collected since 1 Jan 2024. This is a filed case. It is not a judgment. It is not a Florida clerk act.

Knox County Commission voted unanimously Monday for an emergency ordinance that took effect after one reading. The county may not purchase, lease, or install fixed ALPRs, including Flock, on county property, rights of way, buildings, traffic infrastructure, or utility poles. A planned surveillance center is barred. Knox News reports Capt. Tony Chamberlain told commissioners on 24 Aug that KCSO has 143 Flock cameras. Fixed readers must come down by 16 Sep 2026, or county staff will take them. Squad-car readers may stay if a deputy is in the vehicle and the camera is not collecting while unattended. This is Knox County. It is not the City of Knoxville. It is not a statewide Tennessee ban.

Three pulls · one pause
Boston.com, Monday acts reported Tuesday: Abington, Ayer, and Groton ended Flock contracts. Ayer's Select Board voted unanimously to disable and remove cameras immediately. Abington's chief said the department will remove cameras after terminating. Groton's town manager said they are slowing down to bring a solution back to Town Meeting. Southbridge paused use. Its cameras were installed this year but had not been used for investigative or enforcement searches, the department said. Southbridge said it will not continue Flock or similar ALPR until statewide guardrails exist. A pause is not a pull. Last week's five-town list and Easton's year-end contract end are older than this 48-hour window.

Gov. Greg Abbott ordered Texas state agencies to pause funding for Flock cameras. His spokesman confirmed Friday. The Texas Tribune says a state board used a $1 auto-insurance fee to help put up at least 3,200 Flock cameras since 2023, including a three-year, $15.9 million Department of Public Safety contract. The spokesman said most city camera money comes from the federal government. This is a Texas state-funding pause. It is not a Florida act. It is not a statewide camera pull.
Abbott blocks state agencies from spending money on Flock cameras
USA TODAY analyzed more than 75 million Flock searches spanning January 2023 to July 2026. The story says many searches used vague reasons such as "INVESTIGATION," and that Flock blacked out most initials, plates, and reasons from customer audit logs in December 2025. Florida in that story: Sarasota Police fired and arrested an officer after hundreds of searches of an ex-partner's car. That is press. It is not a Pasco or Hillsborough clerk finding.

The city's Flock contract expired about 23 Aug 2026. At a Tuesday council meeting, members stopped short of signing another surveillance company and ordered a review of the city's ALPR policy. For now the story says Santa Barbara has no automated license plate cameras operating. That is an expiration plus a policy review, not a posted swap to a new vendor.

Tempe said it shut down its Flock network and plans to terminate the contract. The city said it would not replace the system with another provider. Cameras may stay visible until Flock removes them, but the city said they are no longer collecting plates. That is a shut-down and a planned terminate, not a vendor swap.

City Council voted 5-2 to end the Flock contract. It rejected calls to stop all automated license plate readers. Axon dashboard cameras on police cruisers remain. Ending Flock is not ending every plate reader in the city.

Indianola police announced about 17 Aug that they were suspending the Flock contract. Waukee also decided to suspend the service this month. Those are local suspensions, not a statewide pull, and not listed here as a passed Iowa bill.
