Flock & ALPR Cameras in Bloomfield, Pennsylvania

Volunteers have reported 91 automated license plate readers in and around Bloomfield — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 88 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Bloomfield, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 0 of them sit inside Bloomfield itself.

The rest sit in Pittsburgh (88).

2 of them name an operator in the record: Pittsburgh Parking Authority (2). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
