Have you been flocked? #Flock #Cameras

Anastassia Olmos News · 2 months ago

The short version: Anastassia Olmos News asks a simple but pointed question—'have you been flocked?'—spotlighting how quietly Flock Safety cameras have spread into everyday neighborhoods.

Our Take

The title says it all: have you been flocked? Most people haven't even heard the term, let alone realized a camera near their house is logging their plate, time, and location every time they drive by. Credit to Anastassia Olmos News for putting that question in front of a general audience instead of burying it in policy-speak. That's exactly the kind of plain-language framing this issue needs to break out of niche privacy circles.

We don't have details on specific claims made in the video since the description is blank, but the core prompt is worth sitting with. Flock's ALPR network has expanded into thousands of communities with little public debate, often approved by a city council or HOA with almost no resident input. The cumulative effect is a de facto national tracking system built one quiet contract at a time.

If this video has you wondering whether you've been flocked, don't guess—check our camera map to see what's logging plates near you, and head to take-action for concrete steps to push back at the local level.
