Facts dated ~15–16 Sep 2026 · FLHSMV statement posted ~10–11 Sep 2026

This is about access to a statewide FLHSMV driver / vehicle database through a Plant City Police Department user’s login credentials stored on a personal electronic device. It is not framed here as a breach of Plant City PD’s own internal systems. FLHSMV did not say PCPD systems were breached.

Municipal law-enforcement access to statewide identity and vehicle databases raises the same credential-hygiene stakes for agencies that also run ALPR programs such as Flock. This page does not claim a technical link between Flock and the FLHSMV systems named below.

What FLHSMV confirmed

FLHSMV’s statement (posted ~10–11 Sep 2026; press page dated 11 Sep) says it learned of a data breach on 4 Sep 2026 by an “international cybercriminal organization.” The breach was quickly mitigated, and FLHSMV says no further / no ongoing breach. Investigation: a criminal actor used a single Plant City Police Department user’s credentials that were improperly housed on the employee’s personal electronic device. FLHSMV gave required notice to the Attorney General under §501.171, F.S., is partnering with the Florida Digital Service and FDLE, and says the matter is an ongoing criminal investigation. That statement uses the words “data breach.” It does not name a database product in the press text itself.

What DAVID is (naming source)

Separately, FLHSMV’s courts-enforcement page describes the Driver and Vehicle Information Database (DAVID) as a multifaceted database for immediate retrieval of driver and motor vehicle information for law enforcement and criminal justice. Secondary security reporting (BleepingComputer) also identifies the breached FLHSMV driver database as DAVID. Treat “DAVID” here as that naming lane, not as wording from FLHSMV’s ~10–11 Sep breach statement.

What officials have not released

Tampa Bay 28 relays FLHSMV and notes officials did not release what information was accessed or how many people were affected. No official record count or field inventory is treated as confirmed on this page.

Attacker claims (not FLHSMV confirmation)

BleepingComputer reported that the group ShinyHunters claimed a Florida DMV / DAVID compromise, including claims of more than 200,000 records, a password-reset flaw affecting multiple DAVID accounts, and activity iterating record IDs from about 3 Sep. Those are attacker / secondary claims. FLHSMV’s statement does not name ShinyHunters, does not confirm a 200k count, and does not confirm a password-reset method. FLHSMV’s published finding is a single PCPD user credential on a personal device. Keep those lanes apart.

Neighbor asks (Commission / PD)

Reasonable public questions, without inventing that any policy is missing: written rules on where DAVID / FLHSMV credentials may be stored; whether personal devices are banned for those logins; whether access is audited and how often; and a public written policy on who may use statewide driver / vehicle databases and under what logging. Ask for dated answers on the record.

FLHSMV primary: FLHSMV statement on data breach (press page dated 11 Sep 2026). DAVID naming (courts-enforcement): FLHSMV courts and enforcement. Local relay: Tampa Bay 28, 11 Sep 2026. Confirm + claim separation: BleepingComputer (FLHSMV confirm). Attacker-claim lane only: BleepingComputer (ShinyHunters claim).

Signed 9 Jul 2024 · the day after Commission item 24-258

This packet is the first twenty Falcon cameras. It is not the November 2025 vote for 22 more.

Who and where

Flock Group Inc. order for FL - Plant City PD, 1 Police Center Dr, Plant City, FL 33566. Twenty Falcon license-plate readers plus FlockOS Essentials.

Money

Year 1 is $73,000: $60,000 platform plus $13,000 implementation ($650 x 20). Then $60,000 a year. Contract total $133,000 for 24 months.

Term

24-month initial term. Then another 24 months unless someone gives 30 days' notice. The paid term starts on first install and validation, not on a printed calendar date in the order.

Retention and the poles

Retention is 30 days. Flock owns the cameras. The city cannot move them. Flock can veto a site. The order has no camera location list.

Who signed

City Manager Bill McDaniel signed 9 Jul 2024. City Attorney Kenneth W. Buchman approved as to form the same day. That is the day after Commission item 24-258 (8 Jul 2024).

Ways out and records

If the city does not appropriate the money, it can leave with 30 days' written notice. Florida public records apply.

What the software includes

State and nationwide plate lookup, custom hot lists, search by vehicle features, and alerts tied to NCIC and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Those are features named on the order. They are not a count of how many plates the network holds.

Walden Lake Elementary School, cafeteria

This is a developer open house, not a City Commission vote and not the Neighborhood Improvement District board. That board already met Monday night, right after Flock. Thursday is the landowner and a local country-club company talking to neighbors about a new plan for the closed golf course.

Who is expected

Representatives of Walden Lake, LLC, the company that bought the closed course from Today's Bank in 2019, and Plant City Country Club, LLC, owned and managed by lifelong Plant City residents Luke Keene and Taylor G. Clark. The Observer names spokesperson Margie Martin of Martin Communications. The application is by land-use attorneys Jacob T. Cremer and Nicole MacInnes of Barbas Cremer. This is not a noticed city hearing. The plan is eligible for the Planning Board's Oct. 28 cycle. A Commission hearing comes after that. Florida law gives the city until Jan. 3, 2027 to approve, approve with conditions, or deny.

What they want to build

About 319 acres of the former golf course and country club. A new nine-hole course and clubhouse. 280 single-family homes and 60 villas, 340 homes in all. The Observer says that is 220 fewer than the last plan. The application commits to at least 40 percent open space, about 128 acres, and says nearly 60 percent, about 192 acres, would stay open through golf, wetlands, stormwater, parks, and paths. The developer also claims updated FEMA floodplain modeling could let many existing Walden Lake homes apply to leave the floodplain, and that a new traffic study shows 1,286 fewer daily trips than the 2023 plan.

What the money record shows

The course has been closed more than a decade. Prior owner Visions Golf went through foreclosure. In 2018 a circuit judge set the club's actual value at $2.5 million for that foreclosure. The city collected about $30,000 from the bank on a mowing lien. The new owner spent $45,000 on a survey that year. The existing Walden Lake planned development covers about 2,080 acres and was originally approved for 4,558 residential units. The developer says this plan stays inside those vested uses. The city Neighborhood Improvement District is a different pot. A state performance review found it generated no revenue and spent no money from October 2021 through April 2025. The city's General Fund pays the $175 state special-district fee. That district is not funding this housing plan.

The long fight

More than seven years of revisions and lawsuits between Walden Lake, LLC and the city. In 2023 the landowner tried Florida's Live Local Act to force administrative approval of 1,530 apartments and 468 townhomes on 319.26 acres. On Jan. 8, 2026, Judge Michael S. Williams granted the city's motion for summary judgment. The courtroom was packed. Many residents wore red. City Attorney Ken Buchman said nothing is final until the written judgment is entered. The Observer later reported that a circuit judge also ruled the development keeps its planned-unit status and vested rights. That ruling does not approve or deny the 340-home plan. The Walden Lake Community Association board has not taken an official position. It retained attorney Matt Kornhauser of Hoover Slovacek. Dr. Alan Blanton, chair of the association's Development and Advisory Committee, said as a homeowner that neighbors are watching flooding, traffic, infrastructure, safety, and property values.

Three different Waldens

Walden Lake, LLC is the private landowner. The Walden Lake Community Association is the HOA. The Walden Lake Community Association Local Government Neighborhood Improvement District is the City Commission sitting as a dependent special district. Monday after Flock, that board had item 26-340 (April 27 minutes) and 26-339 (appointing the Advisory Council). The Advisory Council meeting set for Aug. 12 was canceled.

Not a Flock item

Thursday's open house is land use. It is not a camera vote. Flock dollars are the 2024 and 2025 votes on this page.

Open house and current plan: Observer, 6 Aug 2026. Live Local hearing: Observer, Jan 2026. 2023 filing: Observer, 5 Oct 2023. 2019 purchase: Observer, 18 Apr 2019. Foreclosure value: Observer, 19 Jan 2018. NID board: clerk agendas. NID review: OPPAGA contracted performance review.

What the item was

26-388 Flock Camera Presentation under City Manager reports. FOX 13: this was not a vote on whether the cameras stay. Police used the meeting to explain the system, results, and data policy. Official minutes are not treated as posted here as of 14 Sep 2026 afternoon check (consent that night includes approving those minutes as items 26-422 and 26-400; that is not the same as minutes already public).

Who presented

Plant City Police Chief Richard Mills and Flock Safety public affairs representative Jalen Johnson, as named by FOX 13.

Retention, from the dais

FOX 13: Flock recently cut its default from 30 days to 7. Mills said Plant City Police will keep the data for 30 days. He said 61 sworn officers currently have access.

Police numbers, as reported

Mills, via FOX 13: 101 "positive outcomes" from Jan. 1 through July 31, including 11 arrests (one homicide arrest and one fatal hit-and-run arrest), three recovered stolen vehicles, and two missing people located. Those are department claims from the presentation, not an independent audit.

Cameras still going in

FOX 13, quoting Mills: the 22 cameras approved in November 2025 are still being installed. The first twenty poles were authorized on 8 Jul 2024 (Observer), not in 2025.

Residents on the record

Resident Allie Kipling: "Please, get the Flock out of here." FOX 13 reported a resident who opposes the system was asked to leave, and quoted him: "I think it's a horrible system to be honest."

Press: FOX 13 Tampa Bay, 24 Aug 2026, 9:58 PM ET (Jennifer Kveglis) · FOX 13 video. Official: Aug 24 regular agenda (item 26-388 presentation) remains on the clerk agendas page. Official minutes outcome still not invented here. That night's consent would approve those minutes if the Commission adopts 26-422 and 26-400.
