Underlying camera locations are volunteer-crowdsourced (DeFlock/OSM), not verified by any camera operator or government body -- likely incomplete, possibly outdated or inaccurate (see repo TERMS.md).
A county with zero mapped cameras is evidence of an unmapped county, not evidence of camera absence, unless corroborated by an independent source (see README 'Methodology note on absence claims').
EFF's Atlas of Surveillance only tracks law-enforcement agencies; it does not rule out unshared private ALPR deployments (retail, HOA) in a given county.
