How we keep this neutral

We list only documented public actions (council votes, formal contract decisions, written agency statements). We do not include cities where ALPR is merely being publicly debated. Every entry carries a source URL so you can verify the record yourself. If you spot an error or have a public-record tip, subscribe and we will follow up.
