Follow up/Prediction Video about the Flock cameras

The Tiny Cloak · 2 weeks ago

The short version: The Tiny Cloak offers a follow-up and forecast on Flock's ALPR rollout, a reminder that this surveillance debate is still very much unfolding.

Our Take

The Tiny Cloak is back with a follow-up and prediction video on the Flock camera situation, and we appreciate anyone keeping a running log on this topic. ALPR coverage isn't a one-and-done story — it's a slow-moving expansion of camera networks, data-sharing agreements, and police department contracts that only makes sense if you track it over time. Credit to the creator for treating it that way instead of dropping a single hot take and walking away.

We don't have the specifics of what's predicted here, but the broader pattern is familiar to anyone who's followed Flock's growth: cities adopt quietly, coverage expands block by block, and public awareness usually lags behind the hardware going up on utility poles. Whether this video's forecast is about more cameras, more scrutiny, or more pushback from residents, the underlying question stays the same — who gets to decide how much of your daily movement gets logged, and who's allowed to see it later.

If you want to check whether predictions like these are already playing out near you, our camera map tracks documented ALPR locations, and our take-action page has tools for pushing back at the local level.
