DeFlocking Is Becoming ALL THE RAGE As Americans FIGHT BACK | Really Raw America Ep. 5
The short version: Kenny Hesse and British Chris's 'Really Raw America' riffs on the growing DeFlocking trend, and the fact it's now mainstream comedy fodder says a lot about where this fight is headed.
Our Take
When a watchdog topic starts showing up in a weekly news-and-laughs roundup like Really American's Really Raw America, you know it's broken out of the activist bubble. Hosts Kenny Hesse and British Chris giving DeFlocking a segment, jokes and all, is a sign that ordinary Americans are catching on to what ALPR networks like Flock Safety are actually doing: building a searchable, retained record of where your car goes, with little oversight and even less public input.
We don't know every detail covered in the episode, and we're not going to pretend we do, but the broader trend they're pointing at is real. More communities are asking why a private company's cameras are logging their plates every day, more city councils are getting pushback at public meetings, and more people are physically finding and documenting the cameras near them. That grassroots energy is exactly what rolls back unaccountable surveillance infrastructure, it rarely gets undone from the top down.
If this clip has you wondering whether Flock cameras are already watching your street, check our map to see what's been documented near you, and if you want to push back locally, our take-action page has concrete steps for showing up at council meetings and filing public records requests.
