Flock & ALPR Cameras in Morris, Illinois

Volunteers have reported 20 automated license plate readers in and around Morris — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 20 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Morris, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 15 of them sit inside Morris itself.

The rest sit in Saratoga Township (2).

3 of them name an operator in the record: [Morris Police Department] (3). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

3 cameras have no municipality recorded yet.

Source: community-mapped camera data (OpenStreetMap, ODbL), with addresses resolved by Nominatim.
