Flock you 🀣 #motorcycle #bikelife #flock

The short version: A biker's cheeky 'Flock you' clip captures the growing public frustration with license plate cameras tracking everyday riders and drivers alike.

Our Take

JRides Motorcycles keeps it short and snarky with this one, but the title says it all: people are noticing Flock Safety cameras, and they're not thrilled about it. Whether it's a quick joke caught on a dash or helmet cam, clips like this matter because they show ALPR fatigue isn't just a privacy-advocate talking point anymore β€” it's showing up in bikelife culture, car meets, and everyday commutes.

Motorcyclists in particular have reason to pay attention. Flock's cameras don't just log your plate; they build a timeline of where you ride, when, and how often, all without a warrant or your consent. A throwaway gag in a video is also a reminder of how normalized these systems have become in neighborhoods and city streets across the country.

If you're curious whether your route is lined with these cameras, check our camera map, and if you want to push back where you live, our take-action page has concrete steps. Credit to JRides Motorcycles for putting a bit of humor on a serious issue.
