The short version: A quick meme-style clip from creator memetowntees blasts Flock's ALPR network as unconstitutional mass surveillance, even while selling merch on the side.
Our Take
Credit where it's due: memetowntees packs a real point into a short, punchy format — Flock's license plate readers aren't the neutral "public safety tool" the company markets them as. They're a nationwide, networked surveillance system that logs where you drive, when, and how often, often without a warrant or meaningful court oversight. The video is light on specifics (it's a meme reel with a merch pitch attached, after all), but the underlying instinct is correct: these cameras collect far more than a plate number, and the data doesn't stay local.
That's exactly why we track deployments on our camera map — because most people have no idea how many of these units are already watching their commute, their church parking lot, or their kid's school. Content like this, even in meme form, helps normalize the idea that ALPR networks deserve scrutiny, not a shrug.
If the clip got you fired up, don't stop at liking a video. Check our take-action page for concrete steps — public records requests, city council talking points, and ways to push back on Flock contracts before they're renewed on autopilot.
