Maine

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

Are automated license plate readers used in Maine?

Yes. Volunteers have recorded 50 automated license plate reader camera locations in Maine, across 8 counties. That is a floor, not an inventory — it counts what someone has mapped, not what exists.
