DeFlock Monterey runs on residents like you. Every camera we map, every signature we gather, and every dollar we raise makes it harder for surveillance to spread unchecked. Here is how you can help.
Pick whatever fits your time and energy. Every one of these moves the needle.
Add your name and send the petition to your neighbors. The more residents who sign, the harder it becomes for officials to ignore us.
Sign the petition →If you spot an ALPR on a pole, add it to OpenStreetMap. It will appear on our map and on the national DeFlock map so everyone can see it.
How to map a camera →We need people to map cameras, research vendor contracts, file public records requests, and organize their neighbors. A few hours makes a real difference.
Email us to help →ALPR contracts and renewals are approved in public meetings. A short comment from a resident carries real weight with the people who vote.
Email us for meeting dates →Most people have no idea these cameras exist. Share this site with friends, local press, and community groups across the 831.
Share deflockmonterey.com →Your support covers hosting, printed outreach materials, and public records fees, which keeps this effort independent and free for everyone.
Donate →You do not need to be an expert. If you care about how your community is watched, there is a job for you.
