Flock & ALPR Cameras in Webster Groves, Missouri

Volunteers have reported 4 automated license plate readers in and around Webster Groves — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 4 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Webster Groves, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 3 of them sit inside Webster Groves itself.

The rest sit in Rock Hill (1).

2 of them name an operator in the record: Webster Groves PD (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.
