PUBLIC MONEY.
PUBLIC ROADS.
PUBLIC SAY.
Flockinghell documents public pushback. RouteFrame, its sister project, does the practical half: compare real driving alternatives and review each route's exposure to publicly documented ALPR locations.
TWO PROJECTS, ONE DEMAND: FLOCKINGHELL KEEPS THE RECEIPTS / ROUTEFRAME MAPS THE NETWORK AND COMPARES THE ROUTES.Fresh Flock and ALPR coverage, scanned every two hours from an allowlist of real newsrooms. Machine-collected and unreviewed: headlines link to the publisher, and nothing here joins the verified wall until a human reads it.

Every report is summarized on this page and carries its citation in place: publisher, date, location, and reporting status. Original report links are retained in the project source records rather than opened from these cards. Images appear only when supplied through publisher feed or social-image metadata. Reported actions are attributed; inclusion is not independent verification of every claim.
Public posts can document organizing and local reaction. They are community speech, not verified reporting, and they are labeled that way on purpose.
The durable wins happen in public: records requests, resident education, testimony, contract votes, policy changes, and documented removal.
