内容总结：

美国佛罗里达州圣露西县在决定停用并拆除Flock车牌识别摄像头后，意外发现多台不在册的设备。据《华盛顿邮报》报道，县官员原本以为辖区内共有52台摄像头，结果又发现14台未经许可、来源不明的设备。其中3台随后被圣露西县治安官办公室认领，但该部门未向媒体说明为何这些设备没有办理相关手续。这意味着当地共有11台Flock摄像头归属不明，县官员对此毫不知情。多名居民向媒体表示，这一发现让他们感到不安和不满。

Flock摄像头因其安全风险和潜在的隐私侵犯问题一直备受审视。上个月，佛罗里达州交通部已颁布禁令，禁止执法部门在州道上安装Flock车牌识别摄像头。尽管部分州市已开始反悔停用该公司的设备，但Flock摄像头在美国仍广泛使用，据报道全美在用数量超过10万台。

一名县官员向《华盛顿邮报》表示，已在无人认领的摄像头上张贴通知，要求所有者限期拆除，在此期间这些设备将被塑料袋罩住，以防止继续采集数据。该报一名员工前往其中一台未经许可的摄像头所在位置，发现设备已被拆除，但无法确认是谁拆走的。

佛罗里达一县发现11台无人认领的Flock摄像头，均未获许可

令人毛骨悚然。

佛罗里达州圣露西县官员决定停用Flock摄像头并开始拆除后，发现了若干台不属于任何地方机构的设备。《华盛顿邮报》报道称，县领导原以为该县共有52台摄像头，结果又发现14台去向不明、未经许可的设备。

其中3台无许可摄像头后来被圣露西县治安官办公室认领，但该部门未向《邮报》说明为何这些设备没有办理相关手续。这意味着该地区有11台Flock摄像头来历不明，县官员对此一无所知。不出所料，多位县居民向《邮报》表示，他们对这一发现感到不安和不满。

Flock摄像头因安全隐患和隐私滥用风险一直备受审视。上个月，佛罗里达州交通部颁布禁令，禁止执法部门在州道上安装Flock车牌识别摄像头。尽管部分州市政府已开始转变立场、停用该公司的设备，但Flock摄像头仍然随处可见，据报道全美已有超过10万台在投入使用。

一名县官员告诉《邮报》，他们已在无人认领的摄像头上张贴通知，要求所有者自行拆除；在此期间，这些摄像头将被塑料袋罩住，以防止继续采集数据。该报一名员工前往其中一台未经许可摄像头的安装地点，发现设备已被拆除，但没有任何迹象表明是谁拆的。

Florida county finds 11 unpermitted Flock cameras with unidentified owners
Creepy.
After officials in Florida's St. Lucie County opted to end use of Flock cameras and began removing them, they discovered several devices that were not connected to any local agencies. The Washington Post reported that the county leaders thought they had 52 cameras, but found 14 additional ones that were unaccounted for and unpermitted.
Three of the cameras without permits were later claimed by the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office, although the department did not inform The Post why that gear did not obtain the paperwork. That means there were 11 Flock cameras placed in the area with unknown owners that none of the county officials knew about. Unsurprisingly, multiple county residents told The Post that they felt unsafe or unhappy about this discovery.
We have reached out to Flock for comment and will update this story if we hear back.
Flock's cameras have faced extensive scrutiny over their security risks and potential for privacy abuses. Last month, Florida's Department of Transportation enacted a ban on Flock license plate readers from being placed on state roads by law enforcement. Although some city and state governments have been reversing course on the use of this company's gear, Flock's cameras are still common, with more than 100,000 reportedly in use across the US.
A county official told The Post that it put notices at the unclaimed cameras ordering them to be removed by whoever owns them, and in the interim, they will be covered with plastic bags to prevent any further data collection. One of the newspaper's employees went to the location of an unpermitted camera and found that it had been removed, but there was no sign of who had taken it down.
