    I found out you can put Flock cameras in open street map. Now i just need to find an app that gives me the option to route around them.

      The 2021 paper OSRM-CCTV: Open-source CCTV-aware routing and navigation system for privacy, anonymity and safety says they published source code here but I don’t see it now. The final published version of the paper seems to be paywalled; it’s probably on scihub but there is also a preprint of it here on arxiv.

      https://github.com/FNBIP/ghost-route says it is inspired by the paper and “extended to a production-grade multi-mode threat routing system”. It’s a node app you run locally (there doesn’t appear to be a public instance currently) which would be nice if it could work offline but unfortunately “Offline mode with pre-downloaded OSM tiles” is still on the roadmap and it currently lists “A Mapbox GL JS token (free tier works)” as a requirement (which is probably why there isn’t a public instance - you’d need to pay mapbox to run it for many people).

      I have not tried it; if anyone reading this has or does please post here about how it works!

      Yup that is true.

      On the other hand, I figure helps raise awareness. Also lets me rout my trips around them.

      Plenty of cities have already banned ALPR localy. And there’s a national bill pending in the US. That bill has some loopholes and it isn’t perfect. But the more momentum we can build, the better.

      Very few ppl want these things. Most ppl don’t even realize they exist. It’s an attention economy, and these never rose to the top for most people. I have friends who never heard of them before.

    I’ve had no luck getting the map to work on Ironfox on Graphene or Librewolf on Linux. It did load on Vanadium, despite saying “map source didn’t initialize properly”. Does it generally not work on Firefox based browsers?

      Similar here, I tried it on Firefox 140.10 ESR and got this:

      Failed to Load Camera Data NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource.

      But then I clicked on “Legacy Map” and that worked.

      IDK if they plan to keep Legacy Map around or what.

        I don’t even see an option for a legacy map on Librewolf. Maybe a WebGL thing? Idk, I give it up to the person who made this site for the effort, but so many of us are security minded, they should expect that complex front-end shit will break on a lot of our browsers.
