FDOT ORDERS LICENSE PLATE READERS REMOVED ON STATE ROADS.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla (Aug 31, 2026) The Florida Department of Transportation issued a memorandum today revoking every permit it has issued to law enforcement agencies for automated license plate reader (LPR) cameras placed in state highway right of way.

The order gives agencies 30 days to remove the devices. If they don't, FDOT says it will remove them. The department also says it will stop issuing any new LPR permits going forward.

The order covers cameras in the State Highway System right of way.
Cameras on city and county roads or on private property are not addressed by the memo, though agencies can go further on their own.
