Thanks to Doug for posting this. Also a PDF of all 600 pages plus a searchable database can be found at http://iwitnessvideo.info/documents/index.html (Note: A number of groups and locations outside NY and around the county were spied upon.)

The same site has examples of the aerial and concealed camera video surveillance (you hear a lot about the technology but it is something to see it).

Released so far are only the "intelligence" summaries of the spying, distributed to the law enforcement "community" (and only some of these). Court motions are underway to get the actual reports themselves and a wider sampling.
