Flock & ALPR Cameras in Hemet, California

Volunteers have reported 61 automated license plate readers in and around Hemet — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 61 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Hemet, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 59 of them sit inside Hemet itself.

The rest sit in San Jacinto (2).

2 of them name an operator in the record: Flock Safety (1), The Home Depot (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
