DeSantis questions Florida license plate reader expansion, cites overreach

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis publicly criticized the proliferation of automatic license plate readers (ALPRs) on roads and in communities, saying the technology 'got out of hand.' The statement signals a potential policy shift or legislative push to restrict surveillance use, though no specific action has been announced. This matters as it could affect privacy debates and law enforcement practices in a major U.S. state.
