Flock & ALPR Cameras in Grosse Pointe, Michigan

Volunteers have reported 6 automated license plate readers in and around Grosse Pointe — 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 Grosse Pointe, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 2 of them sit inside Grosse Pointe itself.

The rest sit in Detroit (2), Grosse Pointe Park (2).

4 of them name an operator in the record: Detroit Police Department (2), Grosse Pointe Department of Public Safety (1), Grosse Pointe Park Department of Public Safety (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
