A mayor is vowing to fight an order to remove Flock cameras from state roads and highways. The cameras, which are license plate readers, have been used to help solve crimes. The order, issued by the Florida Department of Transportation, gives agencies 30 days to remove the devices.

The mayor argues that the cameras are a valuable tool for law enforcement and questions how community safety measures can be effectively carried out without them. The cameras are stationed along roads and see hundreds of vehicles driving through high traffic areas. Further details on the dispute and the impact of the order are available from the source.
