+# DeFlock
+
+Crowdsourced tool for locating and reporting ALPRs. [View Live Site](https://deflock.me).
+
+## Purpose
+
+I created this project after noticing the mass deployment of ALPRs in cities, towns, and even rural areas in the recent years. It's a massive threat to privacy, and this projects helps shed a light on this issue as ALPRs continue to be deployed to thousands of cities across the US and possibly beyond.
+
+## What it Does
+
+### View ALPRs on a Map
+Uses OpenStreetMap data to populate a map with crowdsourced locations of ALPRs, along with their type and direction they face.
+
+### Report ALPRs
+Provides OSM tags for easy reporting of ALPRs based on brand on OSM's editing site. Evemtually, this will be a native feature of the site.
+
+### Learn About ALPRs
+See photos of common ALPRs and learn about their capabilities.
