Flock & ALPR Cameras in West Sacramento, California

Volunteers have reported 65 automated license plate readers in and around West Sacramento — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 65 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of West Sacramento, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 42 of them sit inside West Sacramento itself.

The rest sit in Sacramento (21).

7 of them name an operator in the record: Sacramento Police Department (4), Lowe's (3). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

2 cameras have no municipality recorded yet.

Source: community-mapped camera data (OpenStreetMap, ODbL), with addresses resolved by Nominatim.
