CameraAccessTrust’s proposed public audit receipts
A planned independent record for searches of police camera and license-plate data, with public receipts that reveal proof of a record without exposing the underlying footage or plates.
- For
- Residents, journalists, councils, and agencies overseeing camera searches
- Worth noticing
- The proposed checks would record denials too, while acknowledging they may not block access before data is shown.
Field notes
The proposed sequence records an identity and search reason, checks the request against rules, seals the record, and publishes a short receipt with a ledger fingerprint. The mock receipt uses fictional agency data and is labeled not live; the site says a receipt checker is still to come. Its stated first focus is five states with tighter camera rules, while clarifying that these are not customers. The project also acknowledges that its checks may not prevent data from being viewed before a record is made.
