Help put Franklin County on the map

The camera map is built by volunteers, one report at a time — and nobody has surveyed Franklin County yet. ALPRs look like small gray cameras on poles, often solar-powered, near intersections and county roads. Spot one? Reporting takes about a minute.

Why this page exists

Automated license plate readers are spreading county by county, usually with no public vote — volunteers have already mapped 449 across Idaho. Contracts often land quietly at the sheriff’s office or county commission. Learn what the cameras look like, check the roads you drive daily, and this page will update as reports come in.
