Flock & ALPR Cameras in Wapato, Washington

Volunteers have reported 31 automated license plate readers in and around Wapato — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 33 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Wapato, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 18 of them sit inside Wapato itself.

The rest sit in Harrah (3), Zillah (1).

8 of them name an operator in the record: Wapato Police (8). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

11 cameras have no municipality recorded yet.
