The Committee of Observation
A public-records watchdog tracking police and government surveillance technology through records requests, reports, and cross-referenced research.
Field notes
The project divides its material into records obtained through public-records requests, original reports, and links to outside investigations. Its stated request workflow records the statute, fee-waiver request, and agency deadline, then tracks repeated filings when an agency stalls. The watchlist names specific surveillance systems and assigns statuses such as “record open,” “preparing request,” and “monitoring,” including Flock Safety, Axon Fusus, Clearview AI, and Palantir.
