Flock Safety Cameras: Surveillance & Privacy #shorts
The short version: A quick STS Technologies short flags how ubiquitous Flock Safety ALPR cameras have become, using its 'FlockYou' merch as a hook for awareness.
Our Take
STS Technologies LLC keeps this one short and blunt: ALPR cameras are everywhere, and most drivers have no idea they're being logged block by block. It's a commercial for their 'FlockYou' gear, sure, but the underlying message lands — these devices have quietly become part of the everyday American streetscape, usually without a public vote or even a sign.
We're not in the business of endorsing merch, but we appreciate anyone putting a spotlight on how normalized this surveillance has become. A 15-second clip won't explain retention windows, data-sharing agreements, or how often these cameras net zero violent crime, but it does the one job a short video can do well: make people look up and notice the camera on the pole they drive past every day.
If this clip got you wondering whether your own neighborhood is wired up, check our map to see what's been documented near you, and head to take action if you want to push back at your next city council meeting.
