Lakeland traffic cameras and regional ALPR surveillance face scrutiny

Lakeland’s 27 cameras reportedly generated about $3.4 million and issued 27,609 approved notices, with roughly $742,512 reaching the General Fund. An October 5 hearing will consider 26 additional systems. Reports that some Flock ALPR cameras moved from Florida state roads to private property before a September 30 deadline intensify questions about contracts, consent, retention, access, and oversight, without confirming Lakeland involvement.
