New Mexico

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

Are automated license plate readers used in New Mexico?

Yes. Volunteers have recorded 952 automated license plate reader camera locations in New Mexico, across 27 counties. That is a floor, not an inventory — it counts what someone has mapped, not what exists.
