Idaho

What is documented about automated license plate surveillance in Idaho — and what is still an open question.

Are automated license plate readers used in Idaho?

Yes. Volunteers have recorded 440 automated license plate reader camera locations in Idaho, across 15 counties. That is a floor, not an inventory — it counts what someone has mapped, not what exists.

Camera data retrieved Aug 15, 2026 · No dated records held

15 Counties with a mapped camera Assigned geometrically from Census county boundaries. A county with no entry has no mapped camera, which is not the same as none.

0 Full dossiers Places researched down to retention, sharing, warrant standard, and audit policy — including the fields that come back unknown.

Who supplies the cameras

Vendor attribution as recorded by OpenStreetMap contributors. Where a contributor did not identify the vendor the record reads “Unspecified” — that is an unrecorded fact, not a vendorless camera.

What we don’t know about Idaho

We hold no researched record for Idaho deep enough to have produced open questions yet. That is the largest gap on this page.
