Flock & ALPR Cameras in Minnetonka, Minnesota

Volunteers have reported 8 automated license plate readers in and around Minnetonka — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 8 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Minnetonka, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 7 of them sit inside Minnetonka itself.

The rest sit in Deephaven (1).

6 of them name an operator in the record: Minnetonka High School (4), Minnetonka Police Department (2). 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.
