Miami Fort Lauderdale, FL, September 10, 2026 — Miami Beach city commissioners have voted to implement a 90-day pause on their plan to remove Flock cameras situated on state roads. This decision was made to allow additional time for the enhancement of privacy safeguards related to the surveillance technology.

The moratorium comes as the city grapples with ongoing debates concerning the balance between public security and individual privacy. The vote follows an order issued by the Florida Department of Transportation, though specific details of that order were not immediately available. The original plan had been to remove the Flock cameras from state roads.

Commissioners will now use the 90-day period to review and potentially strengthen the privacy protections associated with the Flock camera system. The Flock cameras are a form of surveillance technology used by law enforcement. The outcome of this review is expected to inform future decisions regarding the deployment and usage of such technologies within the city.

Details regarding the specific privacy safeguards to be enhanced and the exact timeline for the 90-day pause were not provided in the summary. The contractor responsible for the cameras was not named.
