Flock & ALPR Cameras in Star, Idaho
Volunteers have reported 9 automated license plate readers in and around Star — 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 Star, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 2 of them sit inside Star itself.
The rest sit in Meridian (7).
2 of them name an operator in the record: Ada County Sherriff’s Office (1), Star City Council (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
Source: community-mapped camera data (OpenStreetMap, ODbL), with addresses resolved by Nominatim.

What’s watching Star
These aren’t red-light cameras. Automated license plate readers like Flock Safety’s photograph every plate that passes, log the time and place, and store it in a searchable database that’s often shared far beyond Star — here’s where that data goes. Counts cover cameras reported closest to Star (within ~20 km), so nearby towns share the same corridors. Spot one that’s missing? Report it on DeFlock.
