    There is a poject, Surveillance under Surveillance, which has been mapping surveillance cameras for more than 10 years. They are mapped in openstreetmap and anyone can add them.

      Unfortunately there are ALPRs there too. Mostly big cities. Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver, etc. Plus some watching major highways. A few in small or mid sized towns like Kamloops. Or Kelowna.

      US has the dubious honor of the #1 spot by far, but Europe’s coming in strong too.

      This shit is like a cancer. Once the tech advances to make it possible, it spreads all around and it’s going to be a huge exhausting fight to get rid of it.

      Corrected post b/c I am an idiot.

    Once again OpenStreetMap for the win but obscured from public view. Though I will give MapQuest credit for proper attribution on the camera data view.
