Surveillance procurement
Automated licence-plate readers arrive by a vote. This is the paper trail behind those votes across California — the original contracts, every renewal and amendment that followed, and the staff reports that were in front of the council when it decided. Where a staff report and the contract it accompanied describe different things, that comparison is set out here with both passages quoted.

A gap means the record was not found on the jurisdiction's public portal. It is not a statement that the record does not exist, and it is not a statement about whether the jurisdiction operates ALPR.

Documents are archived copies of what the jurisdiction published, kept because municipal portals do not use permanent links. Every figure shown is either quoted from a document or marked as not stated. A dash means the record does not say, which is never the same as zero.
