Recently, the Florida rapper Roccout became the center of a privacy violation scandal. The female who allegedly got caught red-handed while planting the designer personal tracking device AirTag in his car became the protagonist of the story.

Roccout, who is known for his powerful lyrics and creative process, spotted the intrusion almost immediately. He has always expressed his views on serving his fan base and making powerful music and singing. He also made “Free Roccout,” which has tune instrumentals that resonate with his fans and relatable lyrics. The song also tells his journey as a strong human person who will not give up, which is often adhered to in his song.
Another song that seems to be popular is ”Try Again”and the track goes to show that there are no limitations to Roccout’s flow and lyrical creativity. The song also proves that Roccout can make entertaining but meaningful music.
The incident occurred when Roccout noticed something amiss with his car. While inspecting the vehicle, he found an item wrapped in a discreet corner. The AirTag was expected to assist people not to lose their belongings. However, people used it to track his movements without his awareness.
Therefore, this case has brought up a question – is tracking using the devices legal and possible? So far the bill in Florida making unauthorized use of the monitoring comma is signed by Governor Rick Scott. Nevertheless, the private investigators are anxious, as they might frequently use such means. In particular, when the victim is persecuted or is suffering from abuse.
The situation with Roccout is not unique, and such incidents have happened before even in the state of Florida. A similar case, where a woman from Bonita Springs found a GPS tracker while changing oil. Also, Latoshia Simpson found a tracker attached to her car by the husband Derek Ester, who got arrested as a result.
Roccout’s experience proves once again the need for privacy and the inhumane intentions of using technology. At the same time, while it does not get easier for him to walk through this dilemma, he firmly sticks to his passion for music and his audience. His personal experience gets added to his music as one more layer in his lyrics, originating from not only songs’ creation but also his life instance and the world itself.
