Flock & ALPR Cameras in Lathrop, California

Volunteers have reported 22 automated license plate readers in and around Lathrop — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 22 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Lathrop, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 14 of them sit inside Lathrop itself.

The rest sit in Manteca (7).

3 of them name an operator in the record: UPS (3). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

1 camera has no municipality recorded yet.
