Collier County agencies must remove license plate readers from state road rights of way within 30 days, while city-road cameras are outside the order

In short

Collier County law enforcement agencies have 30 days from August 31 to remove automated license plate readers installed within state highway rights of way. The FDOT order revokes existing permits and stops future approvals under its jurisdiction. Cameras on city roads are outside this memorandum, according to Marco Island police.

Automated license plate readers installed within state highway rights of way in Collier County must be removed within 30 days of an August 31 Florida Department of Transportation memorandum.

Gulf Coast News reporter Muhammad Abdul Qawee reported that Naples police and the Collier County Sheriff's Office said they will comply. Marco Island police said the order does not apply to its cameras because they are on city roads.

What the FDOT plate-reader order requires

FDOT's Engineering and Operations Memorandum 26-01 revokes approvals previously issued to local law enforcement agencies for automated license plate recognition systems within state highway rights of way.

Permitholders have 30 days from August 31 to remove the covered devices. The department says it will remove any remaining devices after that period and can act sooner when a device creates an immediate safety concern or unsafe condition.

FDOT also says it will stop issuing future approvals for the systems within its jurisdiction. Section 316.0777, Florida Statutes, gives the department discretion over installations in State Highway System rights of way and provides for removal within 30 days after notice.

Which Collier County cameras can remain

The memorandum is tied to state highway rights of way. It is not a countywide prohibition on plate-reading technology.

Qawee reported that Naples police plan to continue using the technology while complying with the FDOT order. The Collier County Sheriff's Office also said it will comply but had not explained how its system will operate afterward.

Marco Island police told the outlet that its readers have been in use for about five years and sit on city roads, placing them outside the memorandum. That distinction is similar to the one in Money & World's August report on Sanibel's three Flock cameras, which are governed by the city's own agreement and placement.

The outlet reported that Florida approved $1.2 million earlier this year for 50 new readers in Collier County. It remained unclear whether those devices had been installed, so the order's exact effect on that allocation cannot yet be counted.

The Collier County plate-reader order, answered

How long do Collier County agencies have to remove plate readers from state roads?
FDOT's August 31 memorandum gives local agency permitholders 30 days from that date to remove covered devices. It says FDOT will remove any that remain after the period.
Does the FDOT order remove every license plate reader in Collier County?
No. The memorandum covers systems within the right of way of roads on the State Highway System. Marco Island police told Gulf Coast News that its cameras are on city roads and are outside the order.
Will FDOT approve new plate readers on state roads?
No under the current memorandum. FDOT says it will stop issuing future approvals for automated license plate recognition systems within its jurisdictional authority.
