David Jolly is a former U.S. representative from Florida, attorney, and political commentator. He is the Democratic nominee for governor of Florida in 2026.
Case
Networked automated license-plate cameras can assemble searchable records of vehicle movements. Candidates and officials disagree over whether to ban the systems, keep them with limits, or defend them as investigative tools. This tracker separates outright bans from narrower restrictions.
Role at the time: 2026 Democratic candidate for Florida governor
Statement summary
Jolly said Florida should consider either major reforms or eliminating Flock, while insisting government camera collection of a person's movements needs a warrant or active crime investigation.
“It's clear dramatic reforms or elimination of Flock altogether should be under consideration.”
The reference point is whether networked license-plate reader systems such as Flock should exist and be used. Jolly said dramatic reforms or elimination of Flock altogether should be under consideration. Putting elimination on the table without committing to it fits Mixed or conditional.
