Flock & ALPR Cameras in Lakeland South, Washington

Volunteers have reported 16 automated license plate readers in and around Lakeland South — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 16 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Lakeland South, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 0 of them sit inside Lakeland South itself.

The rest sit in Federal Way (16).

15 of them name an operator in the record: Federal Way Police (7), Lowe's (3), The Home Depot (3), Northlake Ridge HOA (2). 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.
