A more generalised map of CCTV can be found here with data crowdsourced by people like you on OpenStreetMap.

If you’d like to help map our world, the app StreetComplete is a wonderful place to start (think Pokémon GO but actually beneficial for the world)

Transit card is linked to your credit card which is linked to your identity. Unless you pay cash and obtain a new cars/pass each time.

I use a virtual card for the metro system, and in some places, you can reload your card with cash. I don’t think you even need to use your real name when getting a metro system pass

Instead of making a whole new software why not just add number plate cameras to the osm database and make a software that pulls them out and makes it convenient to read?

Because that could easily make OSM banned in most countries?

Yeah it would be bad if that happened. Governments really hate privacy.

It’s not just about privacy. In this case it’s also about law evasion and possible hiding assistance.

Not really you can just download the osm world file and start your own instance.
