Flock & ALPR Cameras in Roseville, Michigan

Volunteers have reported 14 automated license plate readers in and around Roseville — 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 Roseville, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 12 of them sit inside Roseville itself.

The rest sit in Saint Clair Shores (2).

13 of them name an operator in the record: Roseville Police Department (7), Saint Clair Shores Police Department (3), Clean Express Auto Wash (2), Eastpointe Police Department (1). 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.
