Jacksonville Sheriff's Office deploys automated license plate readers on patrol vehicles and fixed locations consolidated across Duval County. Florida Statute 316.0777 authorizes ALPR use by law enforcement with retention limits and warrant requirements for non-investigative access.
JSO uses ALPR technology including Vigilant and Flock Safety cameras to capture plate images, location, and timestamps automatically. Florida Statute 316.0777 establishes ALPR authority for criminal investigation, missing persons, stolen vehicles, and AMBER alerts. Data retention is generally limited unless tied to an active investigation, and access by other agencies requires written agreements. Many Jacksonville HOAs and gated communities also deploy private Flock cameras that share data with JSO under cooperative agreements. The cameras do not issue tickets directly in Florida outside specific school-zone and toll programs. Civil liberties advocates have raised concerns about mass surveillance, though courts have generally upheld ALPR against Fourth Amendment challenges.
Misuse of ALPR data by officers violates JSO policy and may bring criminal charges under Florida computer crime statutes. Private operators selling data without consent face Florida Deceptive Trade Practices enforcement. Citizens may file complaints with JSO Internal Affairs.
