"Get the Flock Out!" - an Anti-ALPR Song from vp.net

Verified Privacy VPN (vp.net) · 2 months ago

The short version: A VPN company turned ALPR backlash into a catchy protest song, and honestly, the message lands even if the medium is unusual.

Our Take

Credit where it's due: Verified Privacy VPN (vp.net) took a wonky surveillance story and turned it into something people will actually share — a song. "Get the Flock Out!" leans into the absurdity of a point we keep hammering: these camera networks went up in town after town with no public vote, no real debate, just a contract signed and poles in the ground before most residents noticed.

The fact that a privacy-tech company felt compelled to write a jingle about it tells you something about where public sentiment is heading. The video's framing — towns now ripping out poles and canceling contracts — isn't spin. It's happening, and it's happening because residents showed up to council meetings, filed records requests, and made noise after the fact that nobody asked them first.

That's the playbook. If your town has Flock cameras (or you're not sure), check our map to see what's nearby, and if you're ready to push back, our take-action page has the tools to start the same conversation your neighbors already had.
