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.
I just checked my area which is very rural, mostly farmland, and there are 2 nearby. Not really sure what they’re near exactly though
On deflock.me it usually tells you who put them in. If it’s the police department then it’s just on likely busy road.
They say operated by unknown. And it’s not a busy road at all. I think I’m gonna take a ride by there and see what’s up cause the location makes zero sense to me.
Well now I’m curious too!
I drove by it yesterday and couldn’t find anything. No devices that seemed out of place. So I’m guessing someone has either labeled the wrong place, or they just don’t exist there anymore.
