The only crime that was apparent was whoever leaked the grand jury report.

I'm all about having law enforcement have tools,

What we don’t want in the state of Florida is to have a digital AI surveillance state where everything we’re doing is being tracked at all times.

I think what they are doing is the right thing to do, and I think it’s putting the students in Florida that are growing up here, going to our schools, Florida residents. … It’s putting them first.

When I see, like, a police officer using this to track, like, an ex-girlfriend, I'm like, you know, what the hell's going on?

But, if you're not going to do that, do a better job at protesting, please. Gosh.

Let me just give you guys some advice: standing up and screaming is not effective. Okay?

He needs to pay some better talent instead of having people like you show up.

Hey, Soros isn't paying you enough because you're not very good at this.

I sign it, they sue us. They go to a liberal judge. The liberal judge sides with them. Then we appeal, and then we win.

We need to beat the left, and we have beat the left better than any other state in the modern history of this country.

I'm endorsing the slate here tonight ... because I know it's important for the state of Florida.

So, we’ll continue to do that.

You want to get in your car and you want to go to down to Buc-ees in St Augustine, it’s really none of the government’s damn business if you’re doing that, right?

I’ve called for legislation that will protect Floridians from allowing the state to turn into some type of digital prison, digital surveillance state, where somebody knows everything about what you’re doing every day of the week.

I think people are right to be concerned.

But, you also have to say, okay, how could this be misused? And how could a private company misuse the data, but also law enforcement? We know there was an officer in Florida who was using the LPR data to track like an ex-girlfriend or…

But the only way it could be dealt with is legislatively.

I think it's going to get a lot worse unless we have some protections for the people in Florida and so it's going to need to be there.

I don't want to have this become a surveillance state.

I'm all about law enforcement having tools to hold criminals accountable.

It’s going to get a lot worse unless we have some protections for the people in Florida.

I’m all about having law enforcement have tools to be able to hold criminals accountable. I think that’s important that we do that. And no one’s been stronger on law enforcement than me.
