The Atlas of Surveillance

This is brilliant, a zoomable map of the USA that shows which surveillance technologies are being used in each city.

https://atlasofsurveillance.org/

It shows:

  • body-worn cameras
  • police drones
  • automated license plate readers
  • partnership with Amazon’s Ring
  • face recognition
  • surveillance cameras
  • predictive policing
  • gunshot detection
  • cell-site simulators (like Stingray, for intercepting calls illegally)

The data is from less than a third of police departments, from the research of many students. It is not comprehensive, but an indicator of just how many ways you are being watched.
