Flock & ALPR Cameras in Carrollton, Virginia
Volunteers have reported 15 automated license plate readers in and around Carrollton — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.
Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 15 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Carrollton, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 3 of them sit inside Carrollton itself.
The rest sit in Suffolk (10), Smithfield (2).
9 of them name an operator in the record: Suffolk Police Department (4), Founders Pointe HOA (2), Smithfield Police Department (2), Isle of White Sheriif's Office (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

What’s watching Carrollton
These aren’t red-light cameras.
