Flock & ALPR Cameras in Auburn Hills, Michigan
Volunteers have reported 51 automated license plate readers in and around Auburn Hills — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.
Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 51 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Auburn Hills, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 26 of them sit inside Auburn Hills itself.
The rest sit in Orion Charter Township (14), Oakland Charter Township (6), Rochester Hills (4), Pontiac (1).
49 of them name an operator in the record: Oakland County Sheriff's Office (16), Auburn Hills Police Department (15), Simon Property Group (10), Cambio Communities (2), FedEx (2), Gregory Meadows HOA (2), Guardian Industries (2). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
