Big Homie CC Questions 9/11 & What Flock Cameras Really Do
The short version: A Taste of Fame creator links 9/11 skepticism to growing unease about Flock cameras, showing how distrust in institutions is fueling public scrutiny of ALPR surveillance.
Our Take
Credit to Taste of Fame for putting Flock Safety in front of an audience that might not otherwise think twice about the cameras bolted to poles in their neighborhood. We can't speak to the 9/11 commentary — that's outside our lane — but the throughline here is familiar: people are losing faith that institutions tell them the full story, and that same skepticism is finally turning toward license plate readers quietly logging their daily movements.
That's actually the useful part of this video, even if the framing is scattershot. Flock doesn't need a grand conspiracy to be worth questioning. It's a private company running a nationwide vehicle-tracking network with minimal public oversight, selling access to police departments and HOAs alike, and the data-sharing agreements between agencies are often murkier than most residents realize. You don't need to buy into any bigger theory to think a system like that deserves scrutiny.
If this video gets even a few more people asking "wait, what does that camera actually capture about me," it's done something useful. Check our map to see if Flock has already landed in your area, and if you want to push back, our take-action page has concrete steps for getting answers from local officials.
