    "notes": "WFTS (ABC Action News Tampa Bay) reported on 30 September 2026 that Tampa Police removed 17 licence plate readers in state rights-of-way to comply with the Florida Department of Transportation order while continuing its broader camera programme. The article does not name a vendor or give the total number of readers. FOX 13 reported on 2 September 2026 that the department would remove the 17 cameras on state highways 'while maintaining its license plate readers on city streets and monitoring their use'. The Tampa Monitor reported on 1 September 2026 that the plate readers on city streets come from Flock, under a master services agreement the city council approved in December 2023, followed by hardware orders in December 2024 and September 2025, and that 'the Flock contract would carry on either way'; Acting Chief Brett Owen called the readers 'an important investigative tool'.",
