What’s watching Peru
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 Peru — here’s where that data goes. Counts cover cameras reported closest to Peru (within ~20 km), so nearby towns share the same corridors. Spot one that’s missing? Report it on DeFlock.
What you can do in Peru
Ask who approved these cameras, how long plate data is kept, and who it’s shared with. File a public records request, raise it at a council meeting, and see the full playbook on Take Action. Fighting this locally? Join or start a chapter and we’ll amplify you.
