Flock Cameras Know Where You’ve Been 👀 | AI Surveillance Satire Song

Our Take

Sometimes satire lands harder than a spreadsheet full of stats. Cosmic Baby Media and Riva Tellsall took the creeping unease a lot of us feel about Flock Safety cameras and turned it into a song, and that's a genuinely useful contribution to this fight. Most people still don't know these cameras exist on their street, let alone that every passing plate gets logged, timestamped, and shipped off to a database that cops nationwide can query. A catchy, uncomfortable tune does something a privacy policy never will: it makes people actually stop and think about who's watching.

That's really the core problem with networks like Flock's. It's not one camera that worries us, it's thousands of them stitched together into a map of everywhere you drive, shop, worship, or protest. No warrant, no notice, just a permanent record being built in the background of ordinary life. Art like this is a reminder that the stakes aren't abstract or hypothetical, they're about whether your daily movements belong to you or to a corporate-and-police data pipeline.

Credit to Cosmic Baby Media for making the subject accessible instead of just alarming. If this song gets even a few more people asking "wait, is there one of these near me," it's done real work. For those ready to find out, check our camera map to see what's already watching your neighborhood, and head to our take-action page if you want to push back.
