Flock & ALPR Cameras in Wadsworth, Ohio
Volunteers have reported 24 automated license plate readers in and around Wadsworth — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.
Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 24 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Wadsworth, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 21 of them sit inside Wadsworth itself.
The rest sit in Montville Township (1), Norton (1), Wadsworth Township (1).
5 of them name an operator in the record: City of Wadsworth Police (4), The Home Depot (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
