“Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said the use of automated-license plate readers has gotten ‘out of control,’ as debates continue across the country over Flock Safety’s AI-enabled cameras,” the [Wall Street Journal](https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/florida-governor-says-public-is-right-to-be-concerned-about-flock-cameras-0fd0efdd?mod=rss_socialpoliticsfeed) reports.

Said DeSantis: “No one’s been stronger on law enforcement than me—but I don’t want to have this become a surveillance state.”
