For Flock's Sake (forflocksakes.com) is an independent, anonymous national site about automated license-plate readers (ALPRs) such as Flock Safety cameras. It lets anyone look up reported cameras by ZIP code or city on a nationwide map built from OpenStreetMap data, much of it mapped by volunteers through DeFlock. It tracks communities that have canceled, rejected, paused, or banned the cameras, each with a source link, and offers ready-to-send letters to local officials. The site is not affiliated with Flock Safety.
