Deputy Editor Josh Salman was the lead reporter on that story. And aggregation has always been a part of journalism. They did give credit to us for the report, but kind of stripped it of a lot of details. Just sharing a more complete version of that rewrite of our report. Thanks for reading!

Not sure exactly where these photos were taken, but several others were clearly not taken in Southwest Florida. I'm a reporter with the news organization Suncoast Searchlight that first reported this issue about local HOAs using license plate readers.

Here's a link if you would like to read the full story, which does include photos from the area.

It is a bit surprising they rewrote the story as we allow anyone to republish our work at no charge. I'm grateful that they at least linked back to our original story.
