Flock & ALPR Cameras in Minot, Maine

Volunteers have reported 2 automated license plate readers in and around Minot — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 2 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Minot, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 0 of them sit inside Minot itself.

The rest sit in Auburn (2).

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

What’s watching Minot

These aren’t red-light cameras.

Counts cover cameras reported closest to Minot (within ~20 km), so nearby towns share the same corridors. Spot one that’s missing? Report it on DeFlock.
