They Can Follow You Everywhere
The short version: A viral podcast clip titled "They Can Follow You Everywhere" puts Flock Safety's ALPR network in front of a huge new audience, and the title alone says it all.
Our Take
When a pop-culture podcast clip starts racking up views with a title like "They Can Follow You Everywhere," it means the conversation about automated license plate readers is finally breaking out of policy circles and into the mainstream. Credit to Julian Dorey and guest Tommy G for putting Flock Safety's camera network in front of an audience that may have never heard the term ALPR before, let alone realized how many of these cameras are bolted to poles in their own neighborhood.
That's exactly the point we keep hammering: this isn't a hypothetical future surveillance state, it's a present-tense network of cameras logging plate numbers, timestamps, and locations on ordinary people who've done nothing wrong, then storing that data in a system local police and, in some cases, federal agencies can query. A clip like this resonates because people intuitively understand what "they can follow you everywhere" means once you connect the dots — it's not one camera, it's thousands, networked together, building a timeline of your life.
Hearing it from a podcast is one thing; seeing it for yourself is another. Check our camera map to find out how many Flock units are already watching your routes, and visit take action for templates and strategies to push back at your next city council meeting.
