Meetings not available yet: we have not found Franklin's meeting recordings in a form we can use -- they may not be published online, or only behind a login or password.

This report collects every mention of surveillance technology in Franklin's public record that this project can read -- its recorded meetings once they are transcribed, its published agendas and minutes, and its police department's licence-plate search log where one has been released.
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.
