"Get the Flock Out!" - an anti-ALPR song from vp.net
The short version: Verified Privacy VPN turns ALPR outrage into a catchy protest song, proving that calling out Flock Safety's camera network can be both funny and factual.
Our Take
Credit where it's due: vp.net took a genuinely dry policy fight — the quiet spread of Flock Safety cameras logging every plate that passes — and turned it into something people will actually share. Satire and music have always been effective ways to break through on surveillance issues that otherwise get buried under jargon like "vehicle fingerprinting" and "data retention windows." A song people hum sticks longer than a press release.
The bigger context matters here too. This drops as part of a National Week of Action Against ALPRs, which tells you this isn't a one-off gag — it's a coordinated push from privacy advocates, VPN companies, and grassroots mappers alike who all see the same problem: a private company's camera network quietly becoming a de facto national tracking system with little public oversight or consent.
If the song gets you nodding along, turn that energy into action. Check our camera map to see what's already watching your commute, and hit take action for concrete steps to push back in your own city.
