2,074 records and counting — 81 still ahead across 50 states. Council votes surface here before they happen; rallies and town halls while there’s still time to show up. Nothing is ever deleted — what passes into the past stays on the record, so you can trace what was proposed, who showed up, and what it led to.
What’s coming up — and where to show up. Every record cites its primary source.
We provide free custom extracts of everything we track: camera locations, brands, operators, dates, agencies, council agendas, and news coverage, for researchers, journalists, students, and advocates. Tell us the geography, time window, and format you need, and we’ll pull it for you. No charge, no strings.

Every record here is a dated civic fact — a government meeting with surveillance technology on the published agenda, a council vote, a hearing, a rally, a deadline. Upcoming items tell you where to show up; showing up is how towns win. Past items never come off the record: they are the research archive of what was proposed, when, and where. Every record carries a permanent ID and cites its primary source — usually the government’s own published document.
