Flock & ALPR Cameras in Redmond, Washington
Volunteers have reported 14 automated license plate readers in and around Redmond — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.
On the record · Cameras Deactivated
Redmond is on the record here. The Redmond city council voted unanimously to request the police department to disable their Flock cameras after growing concerns of unwanted access by federal agencies and a recent WA court ruling that ALPR data is considered public record.
Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 14 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Redmond, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 13 of them sit inside Redmond itself.
The rest sit in Bellevue (1).
11 of them name an operator in the record: City of Redmond (5), The Home Depot (3), FedEx (2), Kroger (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

What’s watching Redmond
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 Redmond — here’s where that data goes. Counts cover cameras reported closest to Redmond (within ~20 km), so nearby towns share the same corridors. Spot one that’s missing? Report it on DeFlock.
