Flock & ALPR Cameras in Stillwater, Minnesota

Volunteers have reported 25 automated license plate readers in and around Stillwater — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 25 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Stillwater, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 23 of them sit inside Stillwater itself.

The rest sit in Oak Park Heights (2).

3 of them name an operator in the record: Flock Safety (2), Stillwater Police Department (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
