Flock & ALPR Cameras in Wolverine Lake, Michigan

Volunteers have reported 20 automated license plate readers in and around Wolverine Lake — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 20 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Wolverine Lake, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 1 of them sits inside Wolverine Lake itself.

The rest sit in Commerce Charter Township (10), West Bloomfield Township (6), White Lake Charter Township (2), Walled Lake (1).

19 of them name an operator in the record: Oakland County Sheriff's Office (7), West Bloomfield Police Department (6), Lowe's (2), Wolverine Lake Police Department (2), Walled Lake Police Department (1), White Lake Township Police Department (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

What’s watching Wolverine Lake

These aren’t red-light cameras. Automated license plate readers like Flock Safety’s photograph every plate that passes, log the time and place, and store it in a searchable database that’s often shared far beyond Wolverine Lake — here’s where that data goes. Counts cover cameras reported closest to Wolverine Lake (within ~20 km), so nearby towns share the same corridors. Spot one that’s missing? Report it on DeFlock.
