The National Week of Action Against ALPRs (Automated License Plate Readers) starts on August 16th. This Wednesday, the Muslim Justice League is organizing a spy (camera) hunt in Dewey Square.
Come out at 5:30pm near South Station to learn how to identify ALPRs from different companies and then go out on a camera hunt to find all the spy cameras the Boston Regional Information Center (BRIC) setup.
We maintain a map of surveillance cameras in Massachusetts and elsewhere at cctv.masspirates.org. Our site pulls in surveillance camera data from Open Street Map.
Before you come out, take a look at our how-to guides on mapping surveillance cameras. You can find them at cctv.masspirates.org and at our Mapping Surveillance wiki page. Some of the guides you may find most helpful are:
The app guides show people how to use the specified apps to document the cameras they find directly into Open Street Map. Finally, we also have a PDF flyer with QR codes to all the pages listed above and more you can print out and share with others:
