Just added my local Home Depot's Flock cameras to OSM (deflock.me)

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.

Yeah, until you can't go anywhere that doesn't have them. Because that's the inevitable future if we don't push back.

You're already there. They are covering almost every street

Not in my area they're not, we ran them off.
