Flock & ALPR Cameras in Medinah, Illinois

Volunteers have reported 26 automated license plate readers in and around Medinah — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 26 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Medinah, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 0 of them sit inside Medinah itself.

The rest sit in Elk Grove Village (13), Itasca (5), Addison (3), Bloomingdale Township (2), Roselle (2), Schaumburg (1).

2 of them name an operator in the record: Itasca Police Department (1), Medinah Police Department (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

What’s watching Medinah
