Flock & ALPR Cameras in Laguna, California

Volunteers have reported 70 automated license plate readers in and around Laguna — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 70 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Laguna, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 0 of them sit inside Laguna itself.

The rest sit in Elk Grove (58), Sacramento (4).

13 of them name an operator in the record: Elk Grove Police Department (5), Lowe's (4), The Home Depot (3), Sacramento Police Department (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

8 cameras have no municipality recorded yet.

What’s watching Laguna

These aren’t red-light cameras. Automated license plate readers like Flock Safety’s photograph every plate that passes, log the time and place, and store it in a searchable database that’s often shared far beyond Laguna — here’s where that data goes. Counts cover cameras reported closest to Laguna (within ~20 km), so nearby towns share the same corridors. Spot one that’s missing? Report it on DeFlock.
