<h2 class="display-2 mb-4">The Dangers of ALPRs</h2>
<p class="px-6">
ALPRs are a threat to your privacy and civil liberties. They can be used to track your movements and profile you, and even stalk you. Learn more about the dangers of ALPRs and how you can protect yourself.
ALPRs are a threat to your privacy and civil liberties. They're regularly used to track everyone's movements without a warrant, probable cause, or reasonable suspicion. Law enforcement agencies use them for various purposes, no matter how unethical, including <a target="_blank" href="https://www.404media.co/ice-taps-into-nationwide-ai-enabled-camera-network-data-shows/">ICE raids</a> and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.404media.co/a-texas-cop-searched-license-plate-cameras-nationwide-for-a-woman-who-got-an-abortion/">tracking abortion seekers</a> across state lines.

<h2>How is Wardriving Useful?</h2>
<p>
Flock ALPRs often use battery packs called <b>Penguin Packs</b> that emit a Bluetooth signal with names starting with <b>"Penguin-"</b>. By recording these signals while wardriving, you can identify the general location of these cameras.
Flock ALPRs often use battery packs called <b>Penguin Packs</b> that emit recognizable Bluetooth signals. Although Flock updates their firmware regularly to make detection more difficult, these devices still follow patterns that can be identified through wardriving techniques.
</p>
<p>
This data can be used to identify new locations of ALPRs and verify the accuracy of existing locations. Members of the community regularly review WiGLE data to identify new ALPRs and update the map accordingly.

<h2>How to Get Started</h2>
<p>
Download the <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.wigle.wigleandroid" target="_blank">WiGLE WiFi Wardriving</a> app on your Android phone. This app will allow you to record the Bluetooth signals emitted by Penguin Packs.

By running the app while doing your daily commute or driving around town, you can help identify new ALPRs and contribute to the map.

<p>
Even if you haven't collected WiGLE data yourself, you can still contribute to the map by downloading the data from the <router-link to="/operators">our community datasets</router-link> or by performing a <a href="https://wigle.net/search#btSearch" target="_blank">WiGLE search</a> yourself. Once you have the data, you can import the CSV to a map such as <a href="https://www.google.com/mymaps" target="_blank">Google My Maps</a>. From there, you can verify the ALPR's location, direction, and other details. Once you're confident in the data, you can submit it to OpenStreetMap for inclusion in the map.

<h2>Research Attribution</h2>
<p>
Much of our wardriving methodology is based on research by <a href="https://www.ryanohoro.com/post/spotting-flock-safety-s-falcon-cameras" target="_blank">Ryan Ohoro</a>, who has documented techniques for identifying Flock Safety's Falcon cameras. We recommend checking out his work for more detailed information.
