ALPR camera’s are installed by city governments and private individuals in the Bay Area. City governments usually don’t post locations of where the camera’s are installed. Even with a FOIA request, city governments usually deny disclosing the locations as they argue they should not be disclosed for public safety reasons.
Crowdsourcing Locations
A crowdsourced application was released in 2024 called DeFlock (https://deflock.me) which lets any one input where they have seen ALPR cameras, and let any one view all discovered ALPR cameras.
