Flock & ALPR Cameras in Paradise Hills, New Mexico

Volunteers have reported 23 automated license plate readers in and around Paradise Hills — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 23 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Paradise Hills, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 0 of them sit inside Paradise Hills itself.

The rest sit in Albuquerque (19), Rio Rancho (4).

16 of them name an operator in the record: Albuquerque Police Department (16). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

What’s watching Paradise Hills
