Flock & ALPR Cameras in Plymouth, Michigan
Volunteers have reported 14 automated license plate readers in and around Plymouth — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.
Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 14 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Plymouth, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 2 of them sit inside Plymouth itself.
The rest sit in Northville Charter Township (5), Livonia (4), Plymouth Charter Township (3).
9 of them name an operator in the record: Northville Township Police Department (5), FedEx (3), Livonia Police Department (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
