Flock & ALPR Cameras in Monterey Park, California
Volunteers have reported 45 automated license plate readers in and around Monterey Park — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.
Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 45 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Monterey Park, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 19 of them sit inside Monterey Park itself.
The rest sit in Alhambra (21), Rosemead (3), Montebello (1), San Gabriel (1).
3 of them name an operator in the record: Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (2), San Gabriel Police Department (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
