DOWN WITH FLOCK! DEFLOCK DEFLOCK DEFLOCK #deflock #flock #surveillance #protest #rock
The short version: Musician grandson turns anti-Flock sentiment into a rallying cry, proving ALPR surveillance has broken out of policy circles and into pop culture.
Our Take
When a touring musician with a real fanbase starts shouting "DEFLOCK" instead of just another political talking point, it's a sign this issue has legs beyond the usual privacy-advocate crowd. Grandson's clip is short, loud, and unapologetically a protest chant — not a policy breakdown — but that's exactly the point. Culture moves people who never read a city council agenda.
We don't know this artist's full research or sourcing, and we're not going to pretend the video is a deep dive — it isn't trying to be. What it does do is put Flock Safety's name in front of an audience that's never heard of automated license plate readers quietly logging every car that passes a corner store, a church, or a protest route. That visibility matters, because most of these camera deployments happen with zero public debate.
If this clip made you curious what's actually watching your street, don't stop at the song. Check our camera map to see what's been documented near you, and hit take action for concrete steps — public records requests, city council scripts, and more — to push back before mass surveillance becomes background noise.
