Flock & ALPR Cameras in Garden City, New York
Volunteers have reported 11 automated license plate readers in and around Garden City — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.
Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 11 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Garden City, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 0 of them sit inside Garden City itself.
The rest sit in Village of Garden City (10), Village of Hempstead (1).
9 of them name an operator in the record: Hempstead Police Department (6), Garden City Police Department (2), Nassau County Police Department (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
