I’m sorry, but as loud as this Flock meltdown is only makes me wonder if there’s not already a backup system already up and running.

?

This supposedly only applies to state roads.

I live in NY State. I love upstate, I really do, been here for going on 50 years. But if Florida keeps improving its legal/social situation, I may have to consider it.

OTOH, there's the alligators, the pythons, the cockroaches the size of my hand, the hurricanes, Florida Man, most of the state is built on a sandbar, and I don't do well in high heat or humidity ... eh, so maybe not.

Native here and all you describe is true. I moved to Texas for years but it still took a while to reaclimate to the FL environment.

Confirmed, just state roads, not county or townships.
And they have to be removed from the right of way. They could be moved further off to the side maybe.

The memo does not ban local law enforcement agencies from using LPRs on roads controlled by counties or cities. However, several local municipalities have already taken steps toward ending their relationships with Flock.

There’s already other systems like Axion (same company that makes Police Body Cams) as well as other companies doing the same thing that don’t have the name recognition that will probably be silently implemented just like Flock was before the backlash.

Regarding that comment, watch Lauren fix in her channel on youtube, the car coach

The police state is not rolling over, not quite just yet

Don’t forget the sinkholes, when you wake up in the morning at the bottom of a limestone cavern. Pick the location of your new home wisely.

As a carpenter I used to work with many decades ago used to say when it was time to roll up cords ... “Let’s make like geese and get the FLOCK out of here!”

You mentioned cockroaches. I have a fun story. 😊

I was brand new to Georgia, coming down here in 2002. I had never seen a Palmetto Bug before. But there it was, in the middle of my dining room floor. I grabbed a can of Raid and nailed it.... SOAKED it...

.... I was used to Northern German cockroaches. They had the common decency to die. This damn thing? No, it shook it off like it was a linebacker and CHARGED at me, HISSING!

I ran out of my apartment with my arms in the air, screaming like a little girl. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

This eliminates ALL the ALPRs, not just Flock.

TAMPA, Fla. β€” The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has ordered that automated license plate readers, including Flock cameras, be removed from state roads.

He's ordered the removal from State right-of-ways. I think that will only apply to State highways:

Municipalities have original jurisdiction over streets and highways within their boundaries except state roads.

Counties have original jurisdiction over streets and highways within their boundaries except state roads and those under municipal jurisdiction.

Yeah, a friend of mine who moved to Florida described Palmetto bugs in similar terms.

He also said the natives tie strings around them and walk them on leashes, but I think he may have been exaggerating.

That's not an exaggeration; in fact, I think the earliest inhabitants of North America use to ride them like horses. 😊

This is going to further anger the Harry Reid reincarnates here on FR that like to trash talk America’s Governor.
