Flock & ALPR Cameras in Newark, Delaware
Volunteers have reported 29 automated license plate readers in and around Newark — 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 Newark, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 26 of them sit inside Newark itself.
The rest sit in Brookside (1).
3 of them name an operator in the record: Newark Police Department (2), The Home Depot (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
