What The Flock?! 👁️
The short version: Creator Zuri's video calls out Flock Safety's ALPR network for tracking everyday movements without a warrant, treating everyone like a suspect.
Our Take
Zuri's video "What The Flock?!" puts plain words to something we say constantly here: when cameras log every plate that passes, they're not solving a crime, they're building a dossier on everyone who drives, regardless of guilt. That flip — guilty until proven innocent — is the quiet default these networks create, and it's worth sitting with every time a new pole goes up in a neighborhood that never voted on it.
What makes this kind of grassroots callout valuable is that it's not coming from a policy wonk or a lawyer, it's coming from someone noticing the same thing a lot of regular people notice once they learn what that camera on the corner actually does: it's not neutral infrastructure, it's a record of your routine, searchable by police, shared across agencies, often with zero warrant requirement. Multiply that by thousands of intersections and you get a map of where everyone lives, works, worships, and sleeps over.
We appreciate creators like Zuri putting this in front of a new audience, because awareness is step one. If this got you looking around your own block, check our camera map to see what's already watching near you, and head to take action for concrete ways to push back at the local level.
