Steven Meiner is the mayor of Miami Beach, Florida. He previously served as a city commissioner and has worked as an attorney.
Case
Florida revoked permits for plate readers on state highway rights-of-way, citing privacy and misuse concerns. Flock Safety urged regulation instead of removal, while Miami Beach Mayor Steven Meiner warned that the short deadline could harm criminal investigations.
Role at the time: Mayor of Miami Beach
Response to this claim
Revoking local law-enforcement permits for plate readers in Florida's state-highway rights-of-way is justified by privacy and misuse concerns.
“this blanket ban especially with the short time frame will have serious consequences for public safety”
Meiner directly objects to the revocation and its deadline while acknowledging the privacy rationale.
