Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) are AI-powered cameras that capture and analyze images of all passing vehicles, storing details like your car’s location, date, and time. They also capture your car’s make, model, color, and identifying features such as dents, roof racks, and bumper stickers, often turning these into searchable data points. These cameras collect data on millions of vehicles—regardless of whether the driver is suspected of a crime. While these systems can be useful for tracking stolen cars or wanted individuals, they are mostly used to track the movements of innocent people.

It is an open source map, you are free to add to it yourself. Behold, the link that gives info on how to do so. There have been over 100,000 flock cameras installed in the United States in the last 12 months, and so it is a collective effort to keep our maps up to date.
