Flock & ALPR Cameras in Midlothian, Illinois
Volunteers have reported 15 automated license plate readers in and around Midlothian — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.
Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 15 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Midlothian, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 9 of them sit inside Midlothian itself.
The rest sit in Markham (4), Bremen Township (1), Oak Forest (1).
2 of them name an operator in the record: Flock Safety (2). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
