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.

Thank you, oh great click saver!

It should be against the law to post this without explaining what the app is. That being said, cool app BTW.

My bad, from my point of view it shared the description when I shared the link but I guess not everyone sees that.

Interesting, does it do routing e.g. what's the path from A to B with the minimum amount of cameras?

Doesnt seem to. Seems to just be the website, and a way to add new cameras.

Between this and ICEBlock (and its removal from official stores) I'm wondering if we'll soon see a pattern :

problem
data of problem
plotting on map
routing around on map

and the whole not packaged as an app itself because that's too risky to get blocked but as user added content, a la Waze.

Maybe CoMaps should support such layers.
