They Marked the Flock CEO’s Yard as a “PUBLIC TOILET” 🤣🚽
The short version: Derrick Evans spotlights internet trolls tagging Flock Safety's CEO's property as a public toilet on Google Maps — a goofy stunt with a serious message about surveillance backlash.
Our Take
Derrick Evans caught the latest bit of internet justice: pranksters flooding Google Maps reviews to label the Flock Safety CEO's own yard a "public toilet." It's juvenile, it's hilarious, and it's also a pretty clear signal. When people feel like their privacy is being nickel-and-dimed by a camera on every corner, they eventually push back — sometimes with lawsuits and city council speeches, sometimes with a meme campaign aimed squarely at the guy cashing the checks.
We're not here to cheerlead map vandalism, but we understand the impulse. Flock's ALPR network has quietly become one of the largest private surveillance systems in the country, hoovering up plate scans in neighborhoods that never got a real public vote on whether they wanted it. The irony of the CEO getting a taste of unwanted public attention on his own doorstep isn't lost on anyone paying attention to this fight.
If you want to see just how far this network stretches in your own backyard, check our camera map, and if you're ready to do something more productive than a Google review prank, our take-action page has real steps for pushing back at the local level.
