By Victor J. Rosario Candidate for Mayor of Miami-Dade County, 2028
Summary for Residents
As your next Mayor of Miami-Dade County, I have issued an Executive Order to terminate all ZOOX operations within our county borders. This decision was not made lightly — it is a direct response to community concerns, credible reports, and an alarming trend: the misuse of autonomous vehicles under the guise of innovation to conduct unauthorized surveillance on innocent residents and business owners.
Effective upon my election in 2028, this order ensures that our streets, homes, and neighborhoods will no longer be scanned, monitored, or recorded by fleets of vehicles controlled by unknown third parties — especially those using our public infrastructure for private gain and covert activities.
What Is ZOOX and Why Should You Care?
ZOOX is a self-driving car company acquired by Amazon. On paper, they build futuristic autonomous vehicles designed to transport people without a driver. But here in Miami-Dade County, ZOOX vehicles have been widely spotted idling and circling neighborhoods like Brickell, Downtown, Midtown, and Wynwood — without passengers.
Let me be very clear:
This is not about ridesharing or transportation. This is about surveillance.
Many residents and business owners have raised red flags about these vehicles behaving more like roaming cameras than cars — collecting environmental, visual, and potentially biometric data without consent.
Surveillance Is Not Innovation — It’s Invasion
I believe in technology. I believe in progress. But I also believe in boundaries, ethics, and local control. When autonomous fleets — especially those backed by trillion-dollar corporations — are allowed to infiltrate neighborhoods without any community input, transparency, or oversight, it’s no longer innovation. It’s invasion.
Consider the following scenarios:
- A resident walks their dog and a driverless vehicle slowly follows.
- A small business owner notices the same vehicle parked nearby, idling and recording for hours.
- A family enjoys their backyard, unaware they are being scanned by passing tech.
This is not fiction. This is occurring in real time in Miami-Dade County.
And under my leadership, it will stop.
Miami-Dade Residents Deserve Privacy
We are living in an era where privacy is constantly under threat. Facial recognition systems, data brokers, AI mapping tools — all of these are being embedded into our environment, often without our knowledge or permission.
ZOOX, as it currently operates, represents a clear and present danger to:
- Residential privacy
- Small business confidentiality
- Local law enforcement integrity
- Mental and emotional well-being
As your future Mayor, I will protect the people of this county from becoming unwilling participants in tech experiments.
What the Executive Order Says
Here are the key components of Executive Order No. 2028-XX:
Immediate Termination
All ZOOX vehicles operating within Miami-Dade County limits will be prohibited from functioning on our roads.
Countywide Ban
This includes all neighborhoods — from Aventura to Homestead, from Kendall to Coral Gables, from Miami Beach to Hialeah.
Criminal Penalties
Any violation of this order will result in:
- A mandatory jail sentence of two (2) years.
- A full investigation into any unauthorized surveillance data collection occurring within the county.
Community Oversight
A Miami-Dade Resident Privacy Commission will be formed to review future technologies before they are authorized for operation.
This Executive Order will take effect after I am elected as Mayor in 2028.
EXECUTIVE ORDER Miami-Dade County Office of the Mayor Executive Order No. 2028-XX Subject: Termination of ZOOX Operations in Miami-Dade County
WHEREAS, it has come to the attention of the Miami-Dade County administration that vehicles operated by the company known as ZOOX have been misused as a front for unauthorized surveillance and other unlawful practices;
WHEREAS, residents and business owners of Miami-Dade County have reported ongoing harassment, data theft, and privacy intrusions conducted through these vehicles;
WHEREAS, the presence and activities of ZOOX vehicles in areas such as Brickell, Downtown, Midtown, and Wynwood have caused significant concern and distress among our community;
NOW, THEREFORE, under my administration as Mayor of Miami-Dade County, I hereby order:
Immediate Termination of ZOOX Operations – Effective immediately, all activities and operations of ZOOX vehicles within the boundaries of Miami-Dade County are hereby suspended and prohibited.
Penalties for Non-Compliance – Any operation of ZOOX vehicles within Miami-Dade County after the issuance of this order will result in immediate enforcement actions, including a mandatory jail term of two years for individuals found in violation of this order.
Community Protection and Privacy Assurance – This executive order is enacted to protect the privacy, security, and well-being of all Miami-Dade County residents from unauthorized data collection and abuse.
This order is effective immediately.
Signed, Victor J. Rosario Mayor of Miami-Dade County (2028) Next Mayor of Miami-Dade County (2028)
Standing Up for You — Not for Big Tech
Some may ask: “Victor, isn’t this anti-technology?”
Absolutely not.
This is pro-resident, pro-transparency, and pro-freedom. Miami-Dade County welcomes responsible innovation — especially when it benefits residents, creates jobs, or improves transportation. But when technology is used to:
- Spy on neighborhoods
- Map human behavior
- Exploit legal loopholes
...we must act.
As your next Mayor, I will not hesitate to stand up to billion-dollar tech companies if they attempt to override the rights and privacy of our people.
Who Approved These Vehicles?
One of the biggest concerns I hear is:
“Who authorized this?”
There were no public hearings. No city-wide votes. No community opt-ins.
This backdoor method of allowing surveillance technologies to operate on our roads without community consultation is unacceptable. Any company looking to deploy driverless fleets, AI robots, or data collection vehicles must undergo a formal public review process.
Under my administration, we will restore full transparency and control over the technologies entering our communities.
What You Can Do Now
- Report ZOOX vehicles spotted in your neighborhood to your local police department.
- Safely document suspicious vehicle behavior and submit evidence to:

A Final Message to ZOOX
ZOOX, your operations have been reviewed. Your methods are under scrutiny. And your surveillance vehicles are no longer welcome in Miami-Dade County.
If your business depends on silent data collection and unauthorized mapping of residents, you are not a transportation company. You are a surveillance contractor — and your services are not needed here.
You have lost the public’s trust. You have lost your local privilege. And now, you have lost your access to Miami-Dade County.
A Pledge to All Miami-Dade Voters
I pledge that under my administration, privacy will never be compromised for convenience or corporate profit. We will pass sweeping ordinances that:
- Ban unapproved facial recognition systems
- Investigate past surveillance abuses across city and county agencies
- Create the strongest local privacy rights ordinance in Florida
This is not only a response to ZOOX — it is the beginning of a broader movement to reclaim our privacy, our neighborhoods, and our peace of mind.
Conclusion: Miami-Dade Sets the National Standard
We will not be a test site for unapproved technology. We will not be silent victims of digital exploitation. We will be the national model for privacy-first governance and ethical technology standards.
This is the future I am fighting for. This is the new standard for Miami-Dade County. This is the Rosario Standard.
Victor J. Rosario Future Mayor of Miami-Dade County (2028) Champion of Privacy. Leader for the People.
