Hello,

You've added a number of cameras in the Calgary area in the past four weeks, attributing several of them as automated licence plate recording (ALPR) systems: do you have *any* proof whatsoever of this being the case?

This camera in particular seems to be one of the City of Calgary's many traffic cameras (https://www.calgary.ca/roads/conditions/traffic-cameras.html), which don't have ALPR functionality.

In your first two changes you added two Flock branded cameras (changeset/186443740 , changeset/186444816), both of which seem to have questionable veracity. (N.B. that notes have also been added to the map about these two cameras, here: note/5421701 , note/5421703 )

A discussion of these Flock cameras in Canada has started at https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/unverified-flock-cameras-causing-mass-panic/146534/. I think it would be valuable if you participated in this discussion. Respectfully I for one would like to know where you're sourcing things from, because some of your contributions seem speculative to me. I don't know how you're find information about these cameras, and it's causing people to freak out about mass surveillance by the American company Flock in particular, even though Flock does not operate in Canada (yet...).
