Flock or Deflock!? 🤔🇺🇸
The short version: Passive with a Purpose asks the blunt question every American should: Flock or Deflock — and we think the answer matters more than ever.
Our Take
Passive with a Purpose cuts right to the chase with a title that doubles as a mission statement: Flock or Deflock. We don't know every detail the creator covers, but the framing alone is worth applauding — this isn't a neutral tech review, it's a question about whether a private company should be allowed to blanket American neighborhoods with license plate cameras that feed data to police departments, often with little public debate or oversight.
That question is exactly why we exist. Flock Safety has quietly become one of the largest ALPR networks in the country, and most residents have no idea their daily commute is being logged, time-stamped, and stored in a database they never consented to. Videos like this one matter because they push the conversation out of city council meeting minutes and into the feeds of everyday people who are starting to notice cameras on poles they never remember voting for.
If this video has you wondering what's actually watching your street, check our camera map to see documented ALPR locations near you, and head to our take-action page for concrete steps to push back at the local level. Thanks to Passive with a Purpose for keeping the Flock-or-Deflock question in front of viewers — that's the kind of grassroots scrutiny this fight needs.
