The locations of surveillance towers and ALPRs used at checkpoints and ports of entry come from a dataset created by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), with contributions by Dugan Meyer and Colter Thomas. That dataset also includes other surveillance infrastructure types, and is available—along with a link to the EFF's map—here: U.S.-Mexico Border Surveillance Data. The locations of stand-alone ALPRs come from a dataset created by Dugan Meyer, with contributions by Colter Thomas. Both datasets are licensed under Creative Commons 3.0 Attribution licenses.
