1. Flock camera system license plate reader locations

   Allow users to map locations of police automatic license plate readers and select routes that avoids them.

   The Flock automatic license plate readers are now in over 2500 cities in the United States and track 1 billion vehicles per month per their website. They are able to detect the color of your car, wether or not part of your plate is obscured, if the registered owner has a valid drivers license, is a gang member, known drug smuggler, has an active warrant and other such information. Flock sells these to home owners association's and other private entities besides law enforcement. When attached with their Raven gun shot detection system it also is able to identify gunshot locations, broken glass and tires screeching. Our right to privacy is being destroyed. If off the grid individuals wish to not be recorded, they should have the ability to transit around these camera systems.

2. Ability to Report “Automated License Plate Reader” Cameras (ALPR Cameras/Flock Cameras)

   I’m writing as a Waze user with a feature suggestion that I believe fits naturally with what has made Waze such a valuable navigation platform… giving drivers useful, community-sourced information about the roads they travel.

   I would like to ask Waze to consider adding the ability for users to report fixed automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras, including systems commonly known as Flock cameras.

   Waze already empowers its community to share information about police presence, red-light cameras, speed cameras, crashes, hazards, construction, and other conditions that may be relevant to drivers. As automated surveillance technology becomes increasingly common along public roadways, I believe drivers should similarly have the ability to know when they are passing infrastructure specifically designed to identify and record vehicle movements.

   For me, this is ultimately an issue of transparency and informed choice.

   Whatever someone’s personal opinion of ALPR technology may be, these systems can collect information about ordinary people simply as they travel through their communities. Many drivers may not recognize the cameras, understand what they do, or even realize that their vehicle information is being collected. A small, neutral icon within Waze identifying a known ALPR location would give users information without telling them what to think about it.

   There is also an important distinction between providing transparency and facilitating wrongdoing. Waze already demonstrates that potentially sensitive roadway information can be presented responsibly. An ALPR reporting feature could be designed around fixed, publicly visible infrastructure and could simply inform users that an automated license plate reader has been reported at that location.

   I believe such a feature would reinforce one of the principles that makes Waze unique: the road is experienced by a community, and members of that community should be able to help one another understand the environment through which they are traveling.

   Technology will continue to change the relationship between public spaces, transportation, privacy, and surveillance. Navigation platforms have an opportunity to ensure that increased technological capability is accompanied by increased public awareness.

   I hope Waze will seriously consider allowing the community to report ALPR cameras as part of its existing reporting ecosystem. Even if implementation requires careful consideration, I believe the conversation itself is worthwhile.

   Thank you for taking the time to consider the suggestion and for continuing to build a navigation platform shaped by the people who actually use the roads.

4. Allow Waze users to correct sightings of "mobile police cameras" when it fact the devices are "license plate readers".

   My town has many "license plate readers" that allow police to locate stolen cars or to respond to Amber and Silver alerts. Too many people report them as "mobile police cameras". These devices are not "mobile" and they are not intended to monitor speed. They are intended to locate bad actors. In fact, Waze should not identify these plate readers because they might help bad actors escape detection.

5. Restriction zones based on license plate

   In Costa Rica Waze is probably the top GPS app, largely because we lack proper street names and numbers!

   The capital city has a license plate access restriction system, where depending on your license plate, you cannot access the city center 1 day of the week. It would be amazing to have the ability to tell waze which day you cannot enter and for the app to design alternate routes for you.

6. Driver license plate scanning

   While you are driving there are a lot of dangerous and crazy drivers, also drivers who has problems with their lamps and other electronics.

   It would be great to notify them via your mobile phone. The system is easy, you scan their license plate with your camera and you can send a message to the car next to you, after the message the other driver has the chance to answer, then you can chose if you want to continue the conversation or not

7. Message a license plate

   Hi there. How about if users register their license plates and so we could send "car-to-car" messages?! I see lights left turned on, open cars in parking lots, broken lights etc and with a feature like that I could tell the owner by "messaging his/her car", regardless any other info. Nice, huh?!

8. license plate reporting / review review system for bad drivers

   Currently, there is no system of checks and balances for bad or dangerous drivers. If someone is driving recklessly, or dangerously (slamming on brakes, threatening people, road rage) the only recourse is 911, which doesn't always apply and would increase erroneous / wasteful emeergency calls which should be used for more important emergencies.

   If the DMV won't listen, then I hope application developers like Waze, or someone else would implement this feature so that bad drivers can be tracked and reported via license plate in a community fashion.

   Then hopefully, the DMV will do something and create a review program where you would have to re-certify for your license.

   With so many drivers in CA, it's not fair that the good drivers and bad drivers have the same rights on the road. Lets get the bad drivers off the road, and give people an incentive to drive safely. This will also reduce traffic.

12. License plate recognition for mobile radars

    The idea would be to use the rear camera of the phone to check the licence plates of the cars, and make OCR to read it.

    Then it will be compared to a database where users could report the licence plates of the mobile radars onboarded in cars.

    Waze could then alert that there is an onboarded radar on the road, and also alert other users with a flag on the map.

13. 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. 😂

14. Plate number update

    Hi waze team. Can you update the plate number restriction here in metro manila?
    I tried every plate number coding scheme today and theyre all restricted on the area.
    The MMDA still used the old coding scheme of 1 and 2 are not allowed to travel on certain roads every Monday. The same policy applies on plate numbers 3 and 4 every Tuesday, 5 and 6 every Wednesday, 7 and 8 every Thursday, and 9 and 0 every Friday.

    Thank you.
