Oregon

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

Are automated license plate readers used in Oregon?

Yes. Volunteers have recorded 464 automated license plate reader camera locations in Oregon, across 19 counties. That is a floor, not an inventory — it counts what someone has mapped, not what exists.

Camera data retrieved Aug 15, 2026 · Most recent record Aug 11, 2026

464 Camera coordinates 0.4% of the 118,623 we hold nationally. Community-reported, not field-verified by us.
19 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.
2 Documented decisions 2 ended, declined, or suspended · 0 adopted, renewed, or expanded.
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.

No Signal story yet names Oregon. That is a gap in our coverage rather than a quiet state — send us what you are seeing.

National developments that apply here

These are not about Oregon specifically. They govern the cameras in it.

Documented harms and verification

Incidents

None recorded in Oregon. Documented harms are hard to find without audit logs; requesting them is usually how one surfaces.

What we don’t know about Oregon

3 open questions carried by records in this state. Each one is published rather than left blank, because an unresolved question a resident can answer is worth more than a page that looks finished.

  • Has Eugene adopted its city surveillance policy, and what does the final text say? Eugene verification · council agenda
  • Does the adopted policy address ALPR capability generally, or only the terminated Flock contract? Eugene verification · council agenda
  • Does Eugene access any regional or state ALPR database operated by another agency? Eugene verification · public records request

Help close the gaps.

We hold records for 2 Oregon jurisdictions. There are far more than that. A single records request from a resident often establishes more than weeks of desk research.
