New hoodie for Flock Cameras 📸
The short version: A YouTuber from NotYou Clothing shows off a Flock-camera-themed hoodie, a small but telling sign that ALPR surveillance has become mainstream enough to mock in merch form.
Our Take
When surveillance gear becomes a punchline on a clothing channel, it's a sign of how normalized automated license plate readers have become in daily American life. Credit to NotYou Clothing for putting a face — or at least a hoodie — on the growing cultural backlash against Flock Safety's camera network, even if it's framed as a joke rather than a protest.
We get why people want to wear their frustration. Flock cameras have spread into thousands of neighborhoods with little public debate, scanning plates and building location histories on everyday drivers who've done nothing wrong. A hoodie won't jam a camera or opt you out of a database, but the sentiment behind it — that people are sick of being tracked just for driving around — is exactly the energy this fight needs.
