Flock Cameras have been a DISASTER for Humanity…#flock #flocksafety #alien #parody #skit
The short version: A comedy skit from creator Violent Intern skewers Flock Safety's ALPR network, using absurdist humor to spotlight a very real surveillance problem.
Our Take
Credit where it's due: Violent Intern's parody take on Flock cameras is funny precisely because the underlying premise isn't a stretch. A nationwide grid of license plate readers quietly logging where you drive, sold to towns as a crime-fighting tool with little public debate, is the kind of thing that sounds like satire until you realize it's already deployed in your neighborhood.
Comedy is doing real work here. It's an accessible way to get people who'd never read a policy brief to ask a basic question: why does a private company have a live map of my movements, and who else gets to see it? That question matters whether you laugh your way into it or not, because the data doesn't care how you found out about it.
If the skit got you curious about what's actually watching your street, check our camera map to see nearby Flock deployments, and head to our take-action page for ways to push back at the local level.
