The short version: A short, punchy clip from The Curve 2985 argues Flock's ALPR network is a deliberate distraction from deeper surveillance overreach.
Our Take
The Curve 2985 keeps it blunt in this quick hit: while the news cycle chases whatever's loud that week, networks of automated license plate readers keep quietly logging where your car has been, every day, with no warrant and often no public vote. That's the real story — not the distraction, the infrastructure that outlasts it.
We don't have a transcript to lean on here, but the instinct behind the title tracks with what we see constantly: Flock cameras get approved in a council meeting nobody attends, framed purely as a tool against car theft or hit-and-runs, and then the conversation moves on. Meanwhile the data keeps accumulating, shared across jurisdictions, searched by agencies with no local accountability. The cameras don't need headlines to keep working.
If this clip got your attention, don't let it stop there — check our camera map to see what's already watching your own neighborhood, and hit take action for concrete steps to push back before the next system gets rubber-stamped while everyone's looking elsewhere.
