MAN CLAIMS HE TOOK DOWN EVERY FLOCK CAMERA IN BERNALILLO COUNTY
The short version: A viral clip from LRHNshorts shows a man claiming he disabled every Flock ALPR camera in Bernalillo County and then walked into the sheriff's office to announce it.
Our Take
We can't verify the claim at the center of this clip from LRHNshorts — whether one person actually took down an entire county's worth of Flock Safety cameras is the kind of thing that needs hard confirmation, not just a bold statement to a deputy. But the fact that this video is spreading tells you something real: people are fed up with a surveillance net they never voted for, and some are willing to take matters into their own hands rather than wait on city councils to act.
That frustration doesn't come from nowhere. Flock's ALPR network has quietly expanded into thousands of communities with little public debate, hoovering up location data on every driver who passes a camera, innocent or not. When residents feel like confrontation or vandalism is the only lever left, that's a signal local officials should be reading as a failure of oversight, not just a law enforcement matter.
We don't endorse property destruction, but we do think every driver deserves to know where these cameras are watching them.
