Flock & ALPR Cameras in Clio, Michigan
Volunteers have reported 15 automated license plate readers in and around Clio — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.
Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 15 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Clio, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 3 of them sit inside Clio itself.
The rest sit in Vienna Charter Township (11), Mount Morris Charter Township (1).
11 of them name an operator in the record: Clio Police Department (8), Genesee County Sheriff's Office (3). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
Source: community-mapped camera data (OpenStreetMap, ODbL), with addresses resolved by Nominatim.

What’s watching Clio
These aren’t red-light cameras. Automated license plate readers like Flock Safety’s photograph every plate that passes, log the time and place, and store it in a searchable database that’s often shared far beyond Clio — here’s where that data goes. Counts cover cameras reported closest to Clio (within ~20 km), so nearby towns share the same corridors. Spot one that’s missing? Report it on DeFlock.
