What appear to be cameras hidden in unmarked boxes have appeared on utility poles outside the Atlanta homes of some people connected to the movement against the police training center known as Cop City", raising constitutional concerns, the Guardian has learned.

The development comes after several years of ongoing state surveillance of some Atlanta residents opposed to the $109m training center, including officers following people in patrol cars and blasting sirens outside bedroom windows at 3am.
