- Local governments are increasingly adopting surveillance technologies like Flock cameras and ALPR systems.
- Over 80,000 surveillance cameras are already deployed, tracking movements and collecting biometric data.
- alpr.watch helps identify meetings discussing surveillance tech by scanning agendas for keywords.
- Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) systems record and store data on vehicle movements 24/7.
- Flock Safety is a major ALPR manufacturer, sharing data across agencies, creating a widespread surveillance network.
- Surveillance systems often expand beyond their initial scope, with growing data sharing and invasive uses.
- Several organizations, including EFF, ACLU, and Fight for the Future, are actively opposing mass surveillance.
