Flock & ALPR Cameras in Farmington, Michigan
Volunteers have reported 27 automated license plate readers in and around Farmington — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.
Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 27 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Farmington, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 3 of them sit inside Farmington itself.
The rest sit in Farmington Hills (17), Livonia (4), Southfield (2), Redford Township (1).
27 of them name an operator in the record: Farmington Hills Police Department (15), Livonia Police Department (5), Farmington Public Safety Department (Michigan) (4), ROCO Real Estate (2), Clean Express Auto Wash (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
