If you want to explore navigation I made an app: https://alprwatch.org/navigation. It works fully offline, you just need to download the maps and overlays

I made a version which does the avoidance dynamically at runtime, works for any tracks you want to use: https://alprwatch.org/navigation. It works fully offline after you download the maps and overlays

Different datasets. deflock.me is for ALPR locations, alpr.watch shows where local government meetings are taking place

Yup, about 100k installed vs about 40k mapped

About 40k new cameras each year from what I have seen.
If you find yourself with some time, there is now a DeFlock app that helps with mapping. It also includes locations where people suspect there might be a camera, though that is limited to about a third of the states so far.

I will be surprised if there is not a startup in the coming years that pays you to run a surveillance mining app that shares data as a way to subsidize the cost of the hardware. The surveillance state equivalent of ads

It is specifically Flock. For a bit of data, check around page 110 of this report on data sharing between camera operators: https://cdn.muckrock.com/foia_files/2025/07/23/JCSO_Agency_S...

Why accept surveillance and tracking without a narrow and well-defined scope? It is one thing to track cars for estimating traffic velocity, it is another entirely to create a national database of all locations any given individual has been seen, with minimal oversight to the purpose for collecting and using that data.

Possible, but there are plenty of instances of that sort of layout.
One way to cross-correlate is to pull 811 records. This map overlays the Deflock data with 811 locations: https://alprwatch.org/flock/utilities/

An app to screen properties based on your own esoteric criteria. Things like, "I want to have a balcony facing south, looking at a park." Then you can send a list of suitable properties to a real estate agent to scout, or set a notification in case any of them come into the market

Where do you turn for a variety of opinions, activities, and social interactions over the long term? There is incredible value in growing alongside people over a period of time and acting as a mutual support network
