A running, sourced timeline of how license-plate readers, body cams and AI policing tools are actually going — and what the failures cost taxpayers.
Map
Where it happened
174 of 220 entries are pinned to 133 places. A dot's area is proportional to the dollar figure on the entry — or, where several entries share a city, that city's total on THE TAB, or the sum of its reported-but-uncounted figures when nothing there counts — and its colour says whether the money counts: magenta is on THE TAB, cyan is a reported figure that is not, hollow means no figure at all. 31 places have money on THE TAB. National items and entries with only a state are listed below the map.
Sorted by THE TAB. "Cancelled contracts" counts entries tagged Contract cancelled. National and federal items are listed separately below and are not in this table.
