The locations come from OpenStreetMap and are added by volunteers.<br /> * It explains how to report a camera with a standard set of OpenStreetMap tags.<br /> * It keeps a growing guide to ALPR makes and models, with photos, so you can recognise them.<br /> * Its stated aim is to raise awareness of ALPRs and help the public push for accountability and privacy protections.<br /> <br /> The old address deflock.me now redirects to deflock.org.<br /> <br /> == Who runs it ==<br /> * William Freeman created the project and holds the copyright on the code. In the README he writes that he started it after noticing mass deployment of ALPRs.<br /> * The code is under the MIT licence on GitHub, in the FoggedLens organisation.<br /> * The site lists local groups fighting mass surveillance. It says they are run independently and are not affiliated with DeFlock.<br /> <br /> == Join or copy it ==<br /> * Get the DeFlock app for [https://apps.apple.com/us/app/deflock-me/id6752760780 iOS] or [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.deflock.deflockapp Android], or use the OpenStreetMap iD editor in a browser.<br /> * Adding or editing map data needs a free OpenStreetMap account.
