Flock & ALPR Cameras in Rockwood, Michigan

Volunteers have reported 6 automated license plate readers in and around Rockwood — 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 Rockwood, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 0 of them sit inside Rockwood itself.

The rest sit in Brownstown Charter Township (5), Flat Rock (1).

5 of them name an operator in the record: Brownstown Police Department (5). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

What’s watching Rockwood

These aren’t red-light cameras.

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