See the automated license-plate readers logged across the country — 136,917 and counting. Tap any camera for its dossier: who operates it, which way it faces, the street it watches, and when it was first reported. Updated hourly — when a new camera is reported anywhere in America, it’s on this map and in the National Record Index within the hour. Camera locations curated by the volunteer-run DeFlock project; the dossiers and the permanent history are ours.
