THE FLOCK CAMERA PULLBACK IN FLORIDA GETS BIGGER. 🚨

What started with FDOT ordering license plate readers removed from state highway rights-of-way has triggered a much broader response across Florida. But this is NOT a statewide Flock ban.

In just days, Baker, Bay, Brevard, Duval, Franklin, Putnam, Santa Rosa, Volusia and others have moved to discontinue programs, while agencies in Escambia, Leon, Miami-Dade, Okaloosa, Osceola, Seminole and Flagler have suspended use.

Clay, Hernando, Lake, Pasco, St. Lucie and Walton have also taken action involving cameras on county-controlled roads or property.

And it’s still changing. In the last 48 hours, Gainesville Police shut off its ALPR cameras, Flagler suspended Flock use, St. Lucie expanded restrictions to county property, and Palm Beach paused new county-road ALPR permits.

Not everyone is pulling back. Jacksonville Beach plans to continue using the technology where permitted, while Miami Beach leadership is pushing to preserve its use.

The rapid-fire announcements may be slowing, but the next wave could come from city/county commission votes, contracts and local legislation.

Did we make it into the game?

Nope. 😂 But with video game fever taking over Miami right now, this one felt like it deserved another look.

We actually created this campaign back in 2023, featuring original artwork by Miami’s own Cushy Gigs long before the latest trend.

Fast cars. Traffic stops. Palm trees. Miami. It just worked.

A crowd favorite: we’ve given away thousands of these T-shirts at events like Cars & Coffee Central Florida and Supercarsaturdaysflorida

Apparently we were onto something. 🌴🎮

Florida’s Flock camera landscape has changed dramatically in just 72 hours.

Please check the link for the most up to date information https://www.theticketclinic.com/blog/where-flock-cameras-are-banned-in-florida/

It started with the state ordering automated license plate readers including Flock cameras off state highway rights-of-way. FDOT revoked existing permits, stopped issuing new ones and gave agencies 30 days to remove affected cameras.

This is NOT a statewide ban on Flock cameras.

But many local agencies have now gone much further.

Based on our latest county-by-county tracker (12:00PM Sept 2 edit)

🔴 15 counties — Program discontinued/ended
🟠 8 counties — Suspended use by local agency
🟡 5 counties — County road restrictions
⚪ 39 counties — No broader local action confirmed

That means 27 of Florida’s 67 counties or 40% of the state have now suspended, discontinued or begun discontinuing broader ALPR operations.

Important: Florida did NOT ban Flock cameras statewide. It’s much more complicated. Different counties and agencies are taking different actions, and privately operated cameras may still remain active despite the restrictions ordered by the governor on state roads.

The situation is changing quickly, and we’re continuing to track all 67 Florida counties as new announcements come in.

The last 24 hours have been one of the biggest setbacks for FLOCK cameras in Florida yet.

Following Gov. DeSantis and FDOT's move to remove license plate readers from state highway rights-of-way, counties, sheriffs and cities across Florida are now reviewing their own programs. Some are suspending use, terminating contracts or removing cameras altogether.

But "ban" isn't exactly the right word. Florida hasn't banned FLOCK statewide, and private cameras at HOAs, businesses and other properties may remain.

There have been so many announcements that we created a Florida FLOCK Camera Tracker to keep up with them.

Front license plates on collector cars? Hard pass for us. 😩🏎️

For car enthusiasts, there’s nothing worse than having to drill into a bumper and slap a plate on the front of a car that was never designed for one.

But how common are front plate laws?

🚘 29 states + Washington, D.C. require front license plates.

Florida currently isn’t one of them — and an attempt to change that this year didn’t make it through.

Would a front plate law bother you, or is it no big deal?

👇 Car people, sound off in the comments.

We’ve heard some WILD defenses. 😂

From Domino’s drivers arguing they had to speed because of the old “30 minutes or it’s free” policy… to a defendant whose entire defense was, “Judge, I’m a really great swimmer.”

Then there are the people who show up with pages of explanations, diagrams, timelines and arguments only to discover that none of it is actually a legal defense.

In this clip from That’s The Ticket, the attorneys at The Ticket Clinic share some of the craziest pro se defenses they’ve seen in traffic court and explain why knowing what actually matters legally can make all the difference.

Sometimes a 10-page explanation contains one sentence that can win the case. The key is knowing what to look for.
