    Taps ‘View Map’

    Allow deflock.me to use your location?

    I get why it’s helpful, but this might discourage the target users from using the tool. Maybe it could request location only if the user taps a ‘locate me’ type button?

      Yeah, I wasn’t a fan of that either. Still works if you block it, but as you say, it really shouldn’t be requesting that at all.

      I notice they have a general inquiry email in their contact section, maybe they’d be willing to take on your suggestion?

    Is there currently any way to make sure you don’t go near these in OSM or CoMaps, when driving? Like automatic routes around them

      Sadly the whole point of them is maximum tracking, so they’re installed on key points of the roads. Mapping a route avoiding these is a fool’s errand.

        Might still be nice to minimise them if it doesn’t incurr a crazy time penalty?

      License plate cameras that they’re using to track people. Police in Texas just recently used the Flock system to track a woman who went out of state to get an abortion. Actually terrifying stuff.
