Anyone else concerned?? πŸ˜…πŸ«ͺ #flock #deflock #masssurveillance

The short version: Creator Morgan Faith flags everyday unease about Flock cameras, echoing a growing public gut-check on quiet, automated tracking of our streets.

Our Take

Morgan Faith's short clip captures something we hear constantly: regular people noticing Flock Safety cameras for the first time and realizing nobody asked them if this was okay. That instinctive "wait, is this normal?" reaction is exactly the right one. These ALPR units aren't traffic cameras β€” they're logging plate numbers, timestamps, and locations on every car that passes, building a movement history on millions of innocent drivers who've never been charged with anything.

We don't have the full transcript here, so we won't put words in the creator's mouth. But the title alone β€” "Anyone else concerned??" β€” says what a lot of viewers are feeling as these cameras multiply on neighborhood corners and intersections with zero public debate. That's the pattern across the country: quiet installs, vague "public safety" branding, and a surveillance network stitched together before most residents even know it exists.

If this video made you look twice at the pole on your own street, don't stop there. Check our camera map to see what's already tracking your block, and head to take-action for concrete steps β€” records requests, city council scripts, and more β€” to push back before mass surveillance becomes the default.
