Flock & ALPR Cameras in Watson, Louisiana

Volunteers have reported 9 automated license plate readers in and around Watson — 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 Watson, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 0 of them sit inside Watson itself.

The rest sit in Central (2).

4 of them name an operator in the record: Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office (4). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

7 cameras have no municipality recorded yet.

What’s watching Watson

These aren’t red-light cameras.
