Flock & ALPR Cameras in South Ozone Park, New York

Volunteers have reported 7 automated license plate readers in and around South Ozone Park — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 7 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of South Ozone Park, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 0 of them sit inside South Ozone Park itself.

The rest sit in New York (7).

4 of them name an operator in the record: New York City Police Department (2), NYC Department of Transportation (1), New York City Department of Transportation (1). 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.
