Flock & ALPR Cameras in Socorro, Texas

Volunteers have reported 24 automated license plate readers in and around Socorro — 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 Socorro, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 0 of them sit inside Socorro itself.

The rest sit in El Paso (24).

3 of them name an operator in the record: Customs and Border Protection (2), Lowe's (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.

What’s watching Socorro

These aren’t red-light cameras. Automated license plate readers like Flock Safety’s photograph every plate that passes, log the time and place, and store it in a searchable database that’s often shared far beyond Socorro — here’s where that data goes. Counts cover cameras reported closest to Socorro (within ~20 km), so nearby towns share the same corridors. Spot one that’s missing? Report it on DeFlock.
