Why this page exists
Automated license plate readers are spreading town by town, usually with no public vote — volunteers have already mapped 187 across South Dakota. Cameras often arrive quietly in towns exactly like Tea: a council consent-agenda item, then poles by the grocery store. Learn what they look like, check the roads you drive daily, and this page will update as reports come in.
