Flock & ALPR Cameras in Muskegon Heights, Michigan

Volunteers have reported 35 automated license plate readers in and around Muskegon Heights — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 35 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Muskegon Heights, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 10 of them sit inside Muskegon Heights itself.

The rest sit in Muskegon (13), Norton Shores (8), Fruitport Charter Township (3), Muskegon Charter Township (1).

3 of them name an operator in the record: Lowe's (2), City of Muskegon (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
