Flock & ALPR Cameras in Stoneham, Massachusetts

Volunteers have reported 6 automated license plate readers in and around Stoneham — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 6 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Stoneham, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 0 of them sit inside Stoneham itself.

The rest sit in Woburn (5), Reading (1).

6 of them name an operator in the record: Woburn Police (4), Mass State Police (2). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
