Flock Cameras Are Out of Control #flockcameras #aicameras
The short version: A short clip from creator M8WhoSk8s adds another ordinary person's voice to the growing chorus flagging how unchecked Flock camera networks have become.
Our Take
Credit to M8WhoSk8s for putting a plain, no-frills reaction out there — the title says it all: "Flock Cameras Are Out of Control." We don't have the full script in front of us, but the sentiment tracks with what we hear constantly from drivers, privacy advocates, and even some local officials who've started asking why a private company's camera network is quietly logging their comings and goings without a warrant in sight.
That's the real story here, and it's bigger than any single clip. Flock's ALPR systems aren't just parked at a few intersections — they're spreading block by block, city by city, often approved with little public debate and even less oversight on how long plate data is stored or who gets to query it. When regular folks start noticing and saying "this is out of control" in a 60-second video, that's a signal the normalization process is cracking.
If this clip makes you want to know what's actually watching your street, check our camera map to see documented Flock locations near you, and head to our take-action page if you want to push back at your next city council meeting.
