TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) – In a unanimous vote during tonight\u2019s Tallahassee City Commission meeting, commissioners approved suspending all 150 ALPR cameras within the city. <\/p>\n
They say this includes two different types of ALPR\u2019s in the city, including \u201cFlock\u201d and \u201cMotorola.\u201d <\/p>\n
Officials say the cameras will be suspended \u201cvery rapidly,\u201d the same way the Leon County Sheriff\u2019s Office did. <\/a><\/p>\n Dozens of public speakers at Wednesday\u2019s meeting spoke out against the cameras. <\/p>\n The decision follows other local partners <\/a>and other agencies across the state. <\/p>\n Commissioner Jeremy Matlow made a substitute motion to bag all the cameras starting tomorrow. It failed by a 3-2 vote.<\/p>\n At the last city commission meeting, Tallahassee Police Chief Lawrence Revell defended the cameras<\/a> as a crime fighting tool.<\/p>\n Last month, Governor Ron DeSantis banned ALPRs from state roadways.<\/a><\/p>\n To keep up with the latest news as it develops, follow WCTV on Facebook<\/a>, Instagram<\/a>, YouTube<\/a>, Nextdoor<\/a> <\/a>and X<\/a> (Twitter<\/a>).<\/p>\n Have a news tip or see an error?
