This site helps community members understand how surveillance technology functions in the Bay Area, like automated license plate readers (ALPRs), speed cameras, surveillance cameras in public areas, and more. Often, these technologies are framed to solve crime and to serve the best interests of public safety, but there are various ways in which they can be a threat to your privacy, especially for at-risk and marginalized communities.
