Flock camera NOT police
Please stop treating Flock Safety license-plate reader cameras like police/enforcement cameras.
Flock cameras are automated license-plate readers, not police officers running radar and not necessarily speed or red-light enforcement cameras. When Waze alerts drivers to every Flock camera as though it is an enforcement/police camera, the warnings become excessive and make the useful alerts less meaningful.
Please either remove Flock/ALPR cameras from enforcement alerts or create a separate ALPR category that users can turn off independently.
And YES — give me police ahead. Give me speed trap. Give me red-light camera. I do not need Waze yelling at me every ¼ mile because Georgia bought another Flock camera. 😂

I just added a request about this same thing, people keep reporting flock cameras as mobile speed cameras and it's driving me insane. You start to ignore the police warnings so when there's an actual speed trap you're in trouble

This isn't really a waze issue as such. It's users incorrectly reporting flock cameras as police.

Waze currently has a category intended for mobile police/speed-enforcement cameras, but users are increasingly misusing it to report stationary Flock ALPR cameras. This is generating false alerts throughout communities and degrading the usefulness of legitimate police-camera warnings. Waze should prevent or discourage Flock cameras from being reported as mobile police cameras, or create a non-alerting category if Waze wants them represented on the map.

Yes, they should be a separate icon/alert, not a "Still there?" yes/no. They are not mobile.

Or at least allow me to turn off Flock alerts.
