Flock & ALPR Cameras in San Lorenzo, California
Volunteers have reported 29 automated license plate readers in and around San Lorenzo — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.
Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 29 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of San Lorenzo, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 18 of them sit inside San Lorenzo itself.
The rest sit in San Leandro (9), Hayward (2).
13 of them name an operator in the record: Alameda County Sheriff's Office (8), San Leandro Police Department (4), California Highway Patrol (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
