# DeFlock
|
|
|
|
Crowdsourced tool for locating and reporting ALPRs. [View Live Site](https://deflock.org).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 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.
|
|
|
|
The map has become a separate repository, [deflockhopper_maps](https://github.com/FoggedLens/deflockhopper_maps).
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Report ALPRs
|
|
Provides instructions for using the [DeFlock App](https://deflock.org/app) or OpenStreetMap's [iD web editor](https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit) to report ALPRs using a standardized tagging system.
|
|
|
|
### Identify ALPRs
|
|
A constantly-growing repository of ALPR makes, models, and tagging instructions for OpenStreetMap, along with images for identifying them.
