Flock cameras are now in toilets
The short version: A video from the channel Digital ID, Mass Surveillance and Digital Currency claims Flock-style camera tech is creeping into ever more unlikely public spaces, underscoring how unchecked ALPR expansion erodes basic privacy.
Our Take
We can't verify every specific claim in this video — the creator's track record covers a sprawling beat of digital ID, CBDCs, and surveillance tech, and we always recommend viewers do their own vetting before taking any single source at face value. But the core alarm being sounded here is one we share: camera systems originally sold to police departments as a narrow tool for catching stolen cars or Amber Alert suspects keep turning up in places nobody voted to put them, watching activities that have nothing to do with violent crime.
That mission creep is the whole ballgame. Flock and its competitors rarely ask permission before blanketing a city, a parking lot, or apparently now even more intimate spaces with always-on recording. Once the hardware is installed and the data pipeline is built, there's no technical limit stopping it from being repurposed, shared with federal agencies, or sold down the line — only policy, and policy can change overnight. Every new location these cameras appear in, however absurd it sounds, is a reminder that we're being tracked by systems with zero public oversight and vendors who profit from saying yes to every new contract.
