Crowdsourced tool for locating and reporting ALPRs. View Live Site.
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.
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.
Provides instructions for using the DeFlock App or OpenStreetMap's iD web editor to report ALPRs using a standardized tagging system.
A constantly-growing repository of ALPR makes, models, and tagging instructions for OpenStreetMap, along with images for identifying them.
