We now know the exact location of all the Flock cameras in Grand Rapids, cameras that capture images of all passing license plates  

On June 1st, I posted an article entitled, Flock cameras are being used in Kent County and Grand Rapids, but are they being used to get information for Immigration and Customs Enforcement? 

One week later I posted evidence that the GRPD is using the Flock cameras in Grand Rapids regarding immigration matters, based on their logs. The GRPD is denying this and the local news media is siding with the cops. Today I want to present the location of all of the Flock cameras in Grand Rapids and near the city’s borders. This information was obtained from the site https://deflock.me/, which provides the location of every Flock camera across the US.

1. Corner of Fuller and Plainfield NE
2. 4 separate cameras at the intersection of Fuller and Leonard NE
3. On the south side of Fulton Street East where Baldwin Park was.
4. On the north side of Fulton Street East right in front of the Central Reformed Church
5. South-east corner of Fulton Street East and College
6. East Beltline at the northeast corner of Woodland Mall
7. Parking lot that faces the CenterPoint Mall
8. East Beltline, just south of 28th Street in front of Lowes
9. Corner of 29th Street and Shaffer Ave
10. Southeast corner of Burton St and Horton Ave
11. 3 separate cameras at the intersection of Burton St and Division
12. Northside of 28th St facing north towards the hotel near Division
13. 2 separate cameras facing opposite directions on 28th St, between Division and Buchanan
14. 2 separate cameras facing opposite directions on Burton St, just west of Clyde Park
15. Chicago Dr SW, just west of where Lee Street intersects with Chicago Dr
16. Market Ave near the Kent County Waste to Energy Facility
17. Lake Michigan Dr at Bridge St, camera facing west
18. Lake Michigan Dr just east of Covell Ave, camera is facing east
19. Corner of Alpine and 4 Mile Rd, camera facing south
20. Alpine and Henze Drive NW
21. Alpine and Creek Drive
22. 2 separate cameras in front of the Lowes just off of Plainfield NE
23. Division and 36th St
24. Division near Calhoun St
25. 36th St at the railroad tracks just east of US 131
26. 36th St at the end of the US 131 exit ramp facing west
27. 36th St just east of Burlingame Ave
28. 36th St. and Hubal Ave

To be clear, Flocal cameras are being used throughout parts of the US to provide license plate information to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials/agents. Now that we know the Flock camera location in the GR area, people who are vulnerable to ICE might consider alternate routes and destinations. 

Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) are a threat to your privacy and civil liberties. They’re regularly used to track everyone’s movements without a warrant, probable cause, or reasonable suspicion. Law enforcement agencies use them for various purposes, no matter how unethical, including ICE raids and tracking abortion seekers across state lines.
