Support my open source work on DeFlock, a site that tracks Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) across the world. I created this site due to recent deployments of these surveillance devices to thousands of cities across the US. Doing this requires infrastructure and services that I've had to upgrade and pay for with my own money. I'd like to keep DeFlock alive and sustainable without my monetary support, so any contributions are appreciated and will go directly to infrastructure-related bills and legal representation.
Luckily, I've recently been able to drop a major cost (~$80/month). Unfortunately, ALPR vendors do not like the site and are threatening baseless legal action to sue the site out of existence, so that's our current focus.
Current Costs
- VPS - $6/month
- AWS - $2/month
Future Costs
- Map Tiles - $10/month
- PostGIS DB - $30/month
Reaching this goal will allow me to continue to run DeFlock, specifically paying for map tiles, as the site recently gained a lot of traction. This will also help fund new features such as on-site reporting, navigation around ALPRs, and various infrastructure improvements.
