Where Flock cameras show up in Illinois
Reports in Illinois cluster around its larger metro areas — Chicago, Aurora, Naperville, Springfield, Peoria — where police departments, homeowners associations, and shopping centers have installed ALPRs at high-traffic entry and exit points. Smaller towns increasingly use them too, often starting with a handful of cameras on the main roads into town.
