At a glance: East Granby¶
29 mentions of surveillance technology in 6 East Granby meetings, 2024–2026
Not the full history: transcripts begin 2015-02-27, but East Granby's published video archive goes back to 2014-04-09. Meetings before 2015 are not yet transcribed, so this report cannot say what was discussed then. Older meetings are still being added.
This report collects every mention of surveillance technology found in East Granby's recorded public meetings -- automatically transcribed, then keyword-scanned. Each mention below links straight to the moment in the source video, so anything here can be checked against the recording itself.
Start with Timeline to read the discussion in order, or Findings by topic to jump to one technology.
Mentions are found by keyword and are not individually verified. A mention means the words were spoken at a public meeting -- not that the town uses, bought, or approved the technology. Read the quote and watch the clip before drawing a conclusion.

Every finding in this report is a keyword match against exactly these files. Download them to check a quote in its full context, or to search for something this report's keyword list does not cover.
What's inside: one plain-text .txt file per meeting, named <date>_<video-id>_<meeting-title>.txt, plus a MANIFEST.txt giving the date range and how much of the town's video archive is transcribed.
How to use it
unzip east-granby-meeting-transcripts.zip -d east-granby
cd east-granby
# every meeting that mentions a term, with the surrounding line
grep -rin "license plate" .
# just the meeting dates, from the filenames
grep -ril "flock" . | sort
The filename's leading date is the meeting date, so a hit tells you which meeting to watch. Find that meeting in the Timeline below for a direct, timestamped link to that moment in the video.
These are machine-generated captions, not certified minutes. Expect mis-heard names and technical terms, and quote the video rather than the transcript when accuracy matters.
Generated 2026-09-27T15:15:36 from East Granby's meeting transcripts and agenda documents. Home addresses spoken during public comment are redacted; see the archive MANIFEST for what that means.
