Guy hit 50 Flock cameras in a 100-mile radius and did the Ace Ventura bit. #fyp #trending #usa #fun
The short version: A creator's goofy Ace Ventura routine at 50 Flock cameras is funny, but it also maps out just how dense ALPR surveillance has become across one 100-mile stretch.
Our Take
Credit where it's due: the channel Gotta Get Said turned a road trip into a half-joke, half-public-service stunt, mugging for 50 different Flock Safety cameras across a 100-mile radius. It's goofy, it's shareable, and it works as comedy precisely because of how absurd the underlying reality is — that many automated eyes logging plates, timestamps, and travel patterns along ordinary roads, with zero warrants and little public oversight.
Strip away the bit and you've got a de facto audit. Fifty hits in 100 miles isn't an outlier anymore in a lot of the country — it's becoming the baseline density for Flock's network, which now feeds local police, federal agencies, and whoever else gets access through data-sharing agreements most drivers never consented to and most city councils never fully debated.
Videos like this are useful precisely because they make the invisible visible, even as a joke. If you want to see how saturated your own area is, check our camera map, and if you'd rather not just laugh about it, our take-action page has concrete steps for pushing back at the local level.
