DeFlock has mapped the locations of more than a thousand ALPRs around the United States and thousands more around the world.

    Instead of making a whole new software why not just add number plate cameras to the osm database and make a software that pulls them out and makes it convenient to read?

      Because that could easily make OST banned in most countries?

        Not really you can just download the osm world file and start your own instance.

        Why? Can you ban FOSS apps nowadays?

          Why?

          I think it’s obvious.

          Can you ban FOSS apps nowadays?

          Yes especially if it’s Australia.

        Yeah it would be bad if that happened. Governments really hate privacy.

          It’s not just about privacy. In this case it’s also about law evasion and possible hiding assistance.

      It’s built off of OSM. Which is how it should be.
