Flock & ALPR Cameras in Maplewood, Missouri
Volunteers have reported 20 automated license plate readers in and around Maplewood — 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 Maplewood, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 10 of them sit inside Maplewood itself.
The rest sit in Saint Louis (9), Shrewsbury (1).
8 of them name an operator in the record: St. Louis City PD (6), The Home Depot (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.
