The record exists. The tools to use it do not.
156,353 cameras documented and kept, including the 11,688 that came down. 6,896,993 released plate searches. 440,688 council agendas. All public, all free. What is missing is the part that puts it in your hands: your own town’s report, charts of what changed, plain-English search across all of it. That takes real computing power, and this runs entirely on readers. No ads, no investors, no grants.
