Find Flock and other license plate cameras in Minnesota
1,389 of 1,612 mapped cameras are recorded as made by Flock Safety, 187 as other makers and 36 with no maker recorded. Of the mapped cameras in Minnesota, 92% stand inside an incorporated city, town or village; the others are in unincorporated communities or outside any place. From one mapped camera in Minnesota to the nearest other, the median gap is 750 feet. For every 10,000 residents there are 2.8 mapped cameras, on the 2020 Census count of 5,706,494 residents. Mapped cameras turn up in 168 places across Minnesota, and 42 of those places have the 10 mapped cameras at which this site measures a place.

Each square is a quarter of a degree on a side, 17 miles from top to bottom, and is shaded by the number of mapped cameras inside it. A square is drawn for Minnesota when the nearest place with a mapped camera is in Minnesota, so the squares along the state line are approximate, and one that straddles the line counts the cameras on both sides.

Places in Minnesota with a page
So far, 3 places in Minnesota have their own page. The list runs from the shortest typical distance to the longest: the distance from a typical point inside the place to the nearest mapped camera. The share is the part of the area inside the place’s boundary that lies within half a mile of one.
| Place | Typical distance | Area within half a mile | Mapped cameras |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cottage Grove | 0.3 miles | 67% | 138 |
| Woodbury | 0.4 miles | 65% | 78 |
| Minneapolis | 0.5 miles | 51% | 107 |
Measured places without a page
At least 10 cameras are mapped in each of the 39 places below, enough for them to be measured the same way, but none has a page of its own. Pages are added in stages, starting where a mapped camera is typically closest. When a place gets a page of its own is set out with the list of states.
Each line gives the typical distance to the nearest mapped camera, the share of the area inside the boundary that lies within half a mile of one, and the mapped cameras inside it. The order is the same: shortest typical distance first.

Smaller places with mapped cameras
Places in Minnesota with fewer than 10 mapped cameras are not measured, because a few pins say little about a whole place. These are the largest of them.

How these figures are worked out
Every camera here is a pin a volunteer added to OpenStreetMap, so each count is a floor. A place is its U.S. Census Bureau boundary, and a camera belongs to it when its pin falls inside. For each measured place, a grid of sample points is laid inside the boundary, and the typical distance is the median straight-line distance from those points to the nearest mapped camera of any make.
