Deflock the 🌎
The short version: Creator 72titu spotlights the global push to map Flock Safety and other ALPR cameras, underscoring that surveillance tracking is a worldwide citizen effort.
Our Take
We appreciate 72titu putting a spotlight on the broader "deflock the world" movement — the simple idea that if automated license plate readers are going to blanket our streets, the public deserves to know exactly where they are. Even with a bare-bones description, the title alone says plenty: this isn't just an American problem, it's a global one, and grassroots mapping is becoming the go-to tool for pushing back.
That's exactly the spirit behind projects like our own camera map — community members walking, driving, and documenting camera locations because governments and private companies like Flock Safety sure aren't going to do it for us. Every pin added is a small act of transparency in a system built on opacity.
If this video gets you thinking about the cameras in your own neighborhood, don't just watch — check the map to see what's already logged near you, and head to our take-action page to find out how to push back on surveillance creep in your own city council meetings.
