Automated license plate readers are being removed from state highway rights of way due to concerns over privacy and reports of misuse. The order to remove these devices, also known as Flock cameras, was given by transportation officials.

The removal is required to be completed within a certain timeframe. Further details about this development are available from the source.

Transportation officials cited the rapid expansion of surveillance technology as another reason for the removal order, in addition to privacy concerns and misuse reports.
