Flock & ALPR Cameras in Plano, Texas
Volunteers have reported 95 automated license plate readers in and around Plano — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.
Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 95 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Plano, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 79 of them sit inside Plano itself.
The rest sit in Richardson (13), Garland (3).
6 of them name an operator in the record: Plano Police Department (6). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
