Sources & records

Everything on this page traces back to the records below. Where a record carries no linked document, we say so instead of filling the gap.

Documented deployment records

Deployment records come from the EFF Atlas of Surveillance ↗. Database last updated 2026-08-07.

Community-mapped camera locations

13 mapped camera points inside the Kingston boundary, from OpenStreetMap contributors via the DeFlock ↗ dataset (ODbL). Each point links to its own OpenStreetMap record in the camera list on this page.

Camera points are matched to this municipality by point-in-polygon containment against US Census Bureau cartographic boundaries (2023) — the coordinate falls inside the municipal boundary. Containment is a statement about location only, never about ownership, operation, purchase or deployment.

CONTRACT ENDEDBinghamton, NY

Binghamton City Council resolution urges mayor to terminate Flock camera contract ↗

The Binghamton City Council passed a resolution calling on the mayor to end the city's Flock Safety contracts, with council leadership saying the current terms do not serve residents. The measure acknowledges that plate readers can aid investigations while objecting to broad surveillance and data sharing. It sets up a split between the council and the executive that holds the contract.
