Public Records: The Contract Behind These Cameras

San José's roughly 474-camera network is active but has been restricted following public pressure: the city reduced default data retention from one year to 30 days and now prohibits placing cameras near reproductive health clinics or places of worship. Three drivers have separately filed a class-action lawsuit against the city and police department over the deployment.

About this data: Camera locations near San Jose are pulled from OpenStreetMap's public surveillance-camera tags and community reports submitted directly through FlockLocator. Coverage depends entirely on what's been reported — if San Jose looks empty, it likely just hasn't been mapped yet, not that no cameras exist. Read documented cases of ALPR misuse on our News page.
