Flock & ALPR Cameras in Whitewater, Wisconsin
Volunteers have reported 16 automated license plate readers in and around Whitewater — 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 Whitewater, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 13 of them sit inside Whitewater itself.
The rest sit in Town of Whitewater (2), Town of Lima (1).
13 of them name an operator in the record: Whitewater Police Department (13). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
