Proton has begun hosting an interactive map created by a developer named Michael, which identifies the locations of over 300,000 Flock Safety license plate recognition cameras. The company moved the project to its Swiss servers to protect the data from legal challenges, including cease-and-desist threats issued against the original creator.
The map allows users to search for camera locations by ZIP code. Proton states that the initiative aligns with its privacy-focused mission, asserting that citizens have a right to know about surveillance infrastructure in their neighborhoods. The company emphasizes that the tool helps individuals make informed decisions regarding their movements and interactions with local authorities.
The data powering the map is current as of November 2025, serving as a historical snapshot of the network rather than a real-time tracking system. For more recent information, the company suggests using alternative tools like MapQuest, which has also released updates mapping the locations of automated license plate recognition devices from various providers.
