Notes
WCJB reported on 3 September 2026 that Gainesville city commissioners and Police Chief Nelson Moya said all 'Flock-style' licence plate reader cameras were turned off that afternoon, following the governor's order to remove cameras from state roads. Moya said the cameras have helped solve crimes but the technology has lost public trust, and that suspending them is in the community's best interest while the city monitors state and federal legislative efforts. The article gives no camera count or vendor.
