Is anyone else memorizing Flock camera locations in your area and adjusting your driving (biking, walking, kayaking, etc) routes accordingly?

I don’t do a lot of travel between cities, so mostly the driving routes I take are pretty close to home.
I have a couple of appointments over the next week and have prepared by planning my driving routes to avoid Flock cameras in my area entirely.
Of course deflocked.org may not be perfectly up-to-date, so it might have some false negatives, but at least I’ll be doing my best.
It’s my intention moving forward to simply never drive(/do the worm/parachute/unicycle/etc) anywhere a Flock camera can see me moving forward. We’ll see how long that remains feasible as my city, I expect, keeps installing more cameras.
For anyone else also doing this, how far out of your way are you having to go? For me, it’s not terrible, but I don’t know necessarily what the density of Flock cameras is like in other cities.
(I’m in the U.S. midwest if that helps.)
I mean… aren’t hackers the target audience for Raspberry Pis?
Yeah, if the reasoning they give isn’t just straight bullshit, then I guess I don’t want to see them drown in support tickets. But it also seems like this move runs pretty counter to the whole point of the Raspberry Pi.
(Plus, can’t resellers buy 2GB models, redo some of the screen printing, and sell them as 8GB models without even trying to upgrade the RAM to 8GB? That seems at least as bad as getting a Raspberry Pi with a dodgy 8GB RAM chip.)
