Only the biggest bootlickers advocate for flock cameras! Get flock cameras out of Florida!! #deflock
The short version: A Florida creator's blunt, viral-style callout of Flock camera boosters taps into real frustration over unchecked ALPR expansion statewide.
Our Take
Beccsbrunson's video is short on nuance and long on attitude, but that attitude is coming from somewhere real. Florida has become one of the most Flock-saturated states in the country, with cameras popping up on quiet residential streets, HOA entrances, and city rights-of-way, often with little public debate before the contracts get signed. When residents feel like the only people defending that buildout are the ones cashing checks or chasing grant money, "bootlicker" starts to feel like a mild word.
We don't traffic in name-calling here, but we share the underlying frustration: too many local officials treat Flock's pitch — safer streets, solved crimes — as self-evidently true, without grappling with what it means to have every car's movements logged and stored by a private company's network, accessible well beyond the original justification. That's not public safety policy, it's surveillance infrastructure installed on autopilot.
If you're in Florida and want to know what's already watching your neighborhood, check our camera map before the next city council vote sneaks by you. And if you'd rather channel the frustration into something more useful than a comment section, our take-action page has the tools to actually push back.
