Mary's back! DeFlock all these Flockers!

Leesville Tattoos · 3 months ago

The short version: Leesville Tattoos returns with 'Mary' to rally viewers toward DeFlocking local ALPR cameras, reinforcing grassroots pushback against Flock Safety surveillance.

Our Take

Leesville Tattoos is back with another entry in what's clearly becoming a recurring series, and the message is the same one we keep hammering: these camera networks don't get removed by accident. They get removed because someone in the community decides to show up, ask questions, and keep asking until city councils or sheriffs have to answer for a system they often approved with little public input.

We don't have the transcript in front of us and we're not going to pretend otherwise, but the title alone tells you the tone — this is a call to action dressed up as local color, the kind of video that turns 'surveillance center' into a household phrase in a town that probably didn't know what Flock Safety was a year ago. That's the real value of channels like this one: they translate abstract privacy policy fights into something your neighbors will actually watch.

If this video has you wondering whether your own town has quietly wired itself up with ALPRs, don't wait for a viral video to find out. Check our camera map for documented locations near you, and if you find something, our take-action page walks you through how to push back the same way Leesville Tattoos is encouraging folks to do.
