Flock & ALPR Cameras in Ralston, Nebraska

Volunteers have reported 8 automated license plate readers in and around Ralston — 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 Ralston, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 1 of them sits inside Ralston itself.

The rest sit in Omaha (7).

2 of them name an operator in the record: Omaha 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.
