Flock - Music
The short version: ProCactus turns Flock Safety's surveillance sprawl into a protest song, spotlighting the company's own patent and a Georgia scandal that contract renewals ignored.
Our Take
Musician ProCactus just did something most local news won't: put Flock Safety's own paperwork to music. "Get the Flock Out" isn't satire dressed up as fact — it's built on the company's actual patent filing (US11416545B1), which describes sorting people by race, gender, height, weight, and clothing. That's a long way from the "we just read plates" pitch Flock gives city councils, and it's worth sitting with every time a rep tells your town this is only about stolen cars.
The song also revisits two stories we've been tracking: Amazon quietly killing its Ring-to-Flock "Search Party" integration days after backlash over the Milo ad, and the Dunwoody, Georgia mess, where Flock staff got caught peeking into a Jewish community center's interior cameras — pool and gymnastics room included — during a sales demo. The council's response? Renew the contract unanimously anyway, chants from the public be damned. That's the pattern nationwide: exposure changes headlines, not procurement decisions.
Art like this matters because it makes the abstract concrete — a patent number becomes a lyric, a council vote becomes a chorus. If your city is one of the thousands running this network, check our camera map to see what's already watching your street, and use our take-action guide before your own council does what Dunwoody did.
