Douglas Technology & Public Trust
A citizen-led Douglas, Massachusetts project proposing rules for surveillance technology, public safety, privacy, and local accountability.
Field notes
The project frames surveillance oversight as a timing problem: rules should exist before capabilities are acquired, activated, expanded, or shared. Its navigation names public records, documents, a proposed 33-part bylaw, petition interest, and participation, while the page identifies itself as independent of the Town of Douglas. The extract does not expose the underlying records or bylaw text, so their detail remains to be checked.
