The short version: A short, blunt clip from creator Bill Hamrick vents frustration at Flock Safety's camera network, tagging it #fuckflock and #deflock for the growing anti-ALPR crowd.
Our Take
We don't know much about this one beyond the title and the hashtags, and that's fine — sometimes the message is less about production value and more about a gut reaction. Bill Hamrick's clip joins a growing wave of everyday folks using humor and blunt language to say what a lot of communities are quietly thinking: nobody asked for a camera on every corner logging where you drive.
That frustration is the real story here. Flock Safety's ALPR network has spread into thousands of towns with little public debate, often approved in a single city council meeting with no public bidding process and minimal pushback. When residents find out later that their daily commute is being logged and stored, sometimes shared with agencies far outside their town, it's no surprise the reaction is raw, not polished.
Videos like this matter because they keep the conversation alive outside of policy circles. If you want to see whether these cameras have shown up in your own neighborhood, check our camera map, and if you're ready to push back locally, our take-action page has steps for getting answers from your city council.
