- We regularly scrape Flock's site for cities/counties that have Flock ALPRs. Here is our current list of jurisdictions we've scraped that have ALPRs. Not every Flock operator has opted in to sharing their usage with Flock, so this list is not exhaustive. -

If you know the direction that the ALPR is facing, you can use the up and down arrows to set the direction it faces.
- Once you've added the ALPR to the map, click the Save button in the top right corner of the editor. You'll be asked to provide a brief description of your changes. Once you've submitted your changes, the ALPR will be added to OpenStreetMap.

+ Wardriving is the practice of collecting data on wireless networks, Bluetooth devices, and other signals while traveling (typically in a car). For DeFlock, this technique can be a valuable way to locate Flock ALPRs and contribute to the map.
+
+ Flock ALPRs often use battery packs called Penguin Packs that emit a Bluetooth signal with names starting with "Penguin-". By recording these signals while wardriving, you can identify the general location of these cameras.
+
+ 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.
+
+ Download the WiGLE WiFi Wardriving 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.
+
+ Even if you haven't collected WiGLE data yourself, you can still contribute to the map by downloading the data from the Privacy Policy
