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

3 mapped camera points inside the Scranton 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.

LEGISLATIONHarrisburg, PA

Flocked and loaded: Pennsylvania lawmakers look to regulate license plate-reading cameras ↗

State legislators are introducing bipartisan bills that would set standards for how Pennsylvania agencies use automated license plate readers, including retention limits and rules on sharing. Nothing has passed yet — this is the drafting stage — but it puts Pennsylvania in the growing group of states trying to legislate ALPR rather than leave it to procurement.
