If you want a nasty surprise, look up "fusion centers"


They are not well known , they are law enforcement departments which have collected every single scrap of information about every citizen in their jurisdiction, from all areas of government...FBI, ICE, Treasury, etc. They send and get information back and forth among local/state/Feds.

They get all information from all street cameras, license tag cameras, etc.
everything that is collected from all sources ends up in a fusion center. More than one in a state, depending on pop. size.
Cal. would have one for each big city, Washington would have one in Seattle and maybe Spokane, etc.
would also depend on the state's inclinations, but they are federally funded.
Only thing that would mess them up would be loss of internet/radio service.
