Flock & ALPR Cameras in Lewiston, Michigan

Volunteers have reported 16 automated license plate readers in and around Lewiston — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 18 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Lewiston, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 0 of them sit inside Lewiston itself.

The rest sit in Albert Township (14), Elmer Township (2), Greenwood Township (2).

2 of them name an operator in the record: Maximum Exposures Security (2). 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 Lewiston

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 Lewiston — here’s where that data goes. Counts cover cameras reported closest to Lewiston (within ~20 km), so nearby towns share the same corridors. Spot one that’s missing? Report it on DeFlock.
