"I F**ked a Flock Camera"
The short version: A spoken-word short by Sebastian Rosarium turns Flock camera resentment into biting poetry, showing how deeply surveillance fatigue has seeped into everyday culture.
Our Take
Sebastian Rosarium's short isn't a policy breakdown or a teardown of Flock's marketing — it's poetry, and a provocative title for it. But that's exactly why it's worth a nod here: when artists start riffing on license plate readers as a subject for verse, it's a sign the cameras have become a fixture of daily irritation, not just a niche policy debate. Satire and spoken word are how a lot of people process the creeping sense that every drive to the grocery store is logged somewhere.
We don't have details on the specific claims or jokes in the piece, and we're not going to pretend otherwise. What we can say is that this kind of cultural reaction — half joke, half gripe — tends to surface exactly where surveillance infrastructure has expanded fastest with the least public input. Flock's ALPR network has spread into thousands of neighborhoods with little debate about retention windows, data sharing, or who gets access to your travel history.
If this short left you curious about whether there's a Flock camera clocking your own commute, check our camera map to see what's nearby, and visit our take-action page for ways to push back at the local level — city council meetings move a lot slower than poetry, but they're where these systems actually get challenged.
