Flock & ALPR Cameras in Avon, Massachusetts

Volunteers have reported 5 automated license plate readers in and around Avon — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 5 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Avon, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 1 of them sits inside Avon itself.

The rest sit in Brockton (3), Randolph (1).

1 of them name an operator in the record: The Home Depot (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
