Flock Cameras Watching Me Leave The 7/11 After That First Sip Of A Cherry/Coco Cola Slushee Combo
The short version: A comedian's joke about Flock cameras clocking his slushee run lands because it's barely an exaggeration of how pervasive plate-reader surveillance has become.
Our Take
Credit to frankiejustchillin for turning a mundane gas station run into a punchline about living under constant watch — the joke only works because it's basically true. Flock Safety cameras now sit outside convenience stores, neighborhood entrances, and highway on-ramps in thousands of towns, quietly logging the comings and goings of anyone who drives past, slushee in hand or not.
That's the uncomfortable part buried in the humor: these systems weren't built to catch any specific crime in progress, they were built to create a permanent, searchable record of ordinary movement. A joke about being watched leaving a 7/11 is funny until you realize some department, somewhere, really could pull up a timestamped photo of your car doing exactly that.
If this video got a laugh out of you, let it also get you curious. Check our camera map to see how many of these readers are already logging your own routine, and visit our take-action page if you'd rather your slushee runs stay nobody's business but yours.
