Flock & ALPR Cameras in Emeryville, California
Volunteers have reported 112 automated license plate readers in and around Emeryville — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.
Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 112 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Emeryville, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 35 of them sit inside Emeryville itself.
The rest sit in Oakland (66), Berkeley (11).
61 of them name an operator in the record: California Highway Patrol (CHP) (43), Bay Area Toll Authority (6), Berkeley Police Department (6), California Highway Patrol (6). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
