GET THE FLOCK OUTTA HERE! | Pop Rock Version | It Is Our Duty

Our Take

Sometimes the most effective pushback against mass surveillance doesn't come from a policy brief — it comes from a hook you can't stop humming. Lezley Shepherd's "Get the Flock Outta Here" takes the growing public frustration with Flock Safety's camera networks and turns it into a pop-rock singalong, calling out the "license plate reader" euphemism for what a lot of communities are realizing it actually is: a tracking system nobody voted for.

We're glad to see the conversation about ALPR overreach spilling into music, memes, and everyday culture, because that's often how these fights get won. City councils don't feel pressure from spreadsheets; they feel it from constituents who are mad enough to write a song about it. Framing Flock's marketing language against the reality of a database that logs where you drive, when, and how often is exactly the kind of skepticism this technology deserves.

If this track gets you fired up, put that energy somewhere useful. Check our map to see if Flock or similar cameras are already watching your street, and head to our take-action page for tools to push back at the local level before the surveillance becomes permanent infrastructure. Credit to Lezley Shepherd for turning outrage into something people will actually want to share.
