Flock & ALPR Cameras in Taylor, Michigan
Volunteers have reported 61 automated license plate readers in and around Taylor — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.
Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 61 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Taylor, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 47 of them sit inside Taylor itself.
The rest sit in Romulus (12), Dearborn Heights (2).
60 of them name an operator in the record: Taylor Police Department (37), Meijer (6), Romulus Police Department (6), Wayne County Airport Authority (5), McKinley (4), Dearborn Heights Police Department (2). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
