Tracking down contracts & data collection of surveillance cameras

Look up. Have you noticed the cameras that have been installed along major freeways and highways around CA over the last three years? The surveillance infrastructure is being built around you right now. It's only a matter of time before they slowly introduce more and more "fines" and tracking (just look to the UK's surveillance infrastructure).
Here's what I've been doing. I hope you do the same!
1. Locate cameras (note intersection)
2. Contact CalTrans district representatives to ask them:
1. Was the public notified about the cameras before they were installed? Who approved them/who manages them?
2. What was the cost to install them?
3. What sorts of data are they collecting, & where is the data shared or stored?

Notify the public. Spread awareness about increasing surveillance around you.

The prison walls are being built around you. Fight to prevent more partnerships between gov't and corporations. Work to get the ones you have removed via appropriate channels (first, you need a growing awareness of the level of surveillance and data collection in your own neighborhoods and communities).

Also: please note SB 1384: This bill requires licensed firearms dealers to have a digital surveillance system on their business premises. The systems shall have audio, clearly record images to allow clear identification of any person, and shall include all interior views of enties/exits/all points of sale to identify parties involved in transactions. These recordings shall be secured and maintained for a minimum of one year.
The dealer shall allow access to the surveillance system to an agent of the department. It shall allow acess to release recordings to any person pursuant to search warrant or other court order. It will be used in civil discovery.
Be aware. Stand up.
