Caught By The Flock An Original Song About Duval's License Plate Cameras
The short version: A Duval County musician turns ALPR dread into art, proving Flock Safety's camera network has seeped into everyday life and local culture.
Our Take
Credit where it's due: Divine Alliance Media took a subject most people glaze over — municipal surveillance contracts and license plate reader deployments — and turned it into a three-verse song that actually sticks in your head. When artists start writing about Flock cameras unprompted, that's a signal. It means the cameras aren't an abstract policy debate anymore; they're a lived experience for drivers in Duval County, something people feel watched by on their daily commute.
That's exactly the kind of cultural seepage we track here. Flock Safety doesn't need a single dramatic scandal to normalize mass surveillance — it just needs enough ordinary people quietly absorbing the fact that every trip through town gets logged, time-stamped, and stored. A song titled "Caught By The Flock" captures that creeping unease better than another city council transcript ever could.
If this track has you wondering how many of these cameras are actually watching your own routes, check our camera map to see what's been documented near you, and visit our take-action page if you want to push back on your local deployment instead of just writing a verse about it.
