The Center for Investigative Reporting did an extensive feature about surveillance programs being used around the country. A program made by Persistent Surveillance Systems is in use in Compton, Calif., and is able to constantly watch pedestrians and drivers within a 25-mile radius.

Watch its capabilities starting around 6:30 in the above video.
