Don The Bass - License Plate Dancing
The short version: BassFishFox's 'License Plate Dancing' turns a catchy tune into a wake-up call about how ALPRs quietly log every drive you take.
Our Take
Credit where it's due: BassFishFox took a subject that usually gets buried in privacy-policy jargon and turned it into something people will actually watch and remember. 'License Plate Dancing' uses humor and music to ask a question that deserves a serious answer — what happens to the digital trail your car leaves behind every single day?
That question is the whole ballgame with Flock Safety and similar ALPR networks. It's not one camera catching one car once. It's thousands of cameras stitching together a searchable history of where you go, when, and how often — all without a warrant, and often without your city council ever holding a real public debate about it. A funny video is a good hook, but the underlying reality is anything but a joke: this data can sit in databases for months, get shared across agencies and states, and be queried for reasons that have nothing to do with solving the crime it was supposedly installed to stop.
If this song gets you curious about what's actually watching your street, don't stop at the laugh. Check our camera map to see what's been documented near you, and head to take action if you want to push back on unchecked ALPR deployment in your community.
