Spot, map, and resist automated license plate readers (ALPRs) near you.

I’m a frequent contributor to OSM, along with being passionate about individual privacy. Adding Flock cameras to the map has become a new hyperfixation for me. The best part is that when tagged correctly, they appear on deflock.me along with OSM. It’s a simple way to help your community know when they’re around these dystopian ALPR cameras. Deflock also has an app, although I cannot attest for it - I believe that it dumps the data into OSM too, so it may be better suited for those without OSM experience.

    adding cameras to osm is very easy with streetComplete

    • you activate the objects layer (right top)
    • press + (right bottom)
    • type “cam” and you can choose “surveillance camera” from the drop down menu

      In case someone will miss the other post, OP answered the question there:

      Since someone asked in a cross post, DeFlock has an image-based guide on how to identify common ALPRs: https://deflock.me/identify

      If you’re like me (and your area has a lot of them like mine does), once you notice one, you’ll start seeing them everywhere.
