Flock & ALPR Cameras in Farmington, Connecticut
Volunteers have reported 9 automated license plate readers in and around Farmington — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.
Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 9 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Farmington, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 7 of them sit inside Farmington itself.
The rest sit in Avon (1), Bristol (1).
8 of them name an operator in the record: Farmington Police Department (5), Avon Police Department (1), Bristol Police Department (1), Farmington PD (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
