The short version: A quick viral PSA from creator Plonk flags Flock Safety's ALPR cameras popping up everywhere, reminding casual viewers this is a real political issue, not a conspiracy theory.
Our Take
Credit to Plonk for packaging the Flock Safety conversation into a quick, shareable PSA — the kind of short-form content that actually reaches people who'll never read a policy brief or sit through a city council meeting. The hashtags say it all: this isn't a niche tech story anymore, it's politics, and it's going viral because people are starting to notice cameras on poles they never voted for.
The description here is sparse, so we're not going to pretend we know exactly what angle the video takes. But the mere fact that a general-audience channel is dropping a 'PSA' about Flock cameras says something important: public awareness is catching up to the scale of deployment. These systems have been installed quietly, camera by camera, city by city, often without meaningful debate, and content like this is one of the few forces pushing that debate into the open.
If this video left you with questions about where these cameras actually are near you, check our camera map to see the footprint in your area. And if it left you wanting to do something about it, our take-action page has concrete steps for pushing back at the local level, where these decisions actually get made.
