This Destroys Flock Cameras (Do NOT Try It)

Our Take

Full Armour Media Group is running with a bit The Lincoln Project started: a deadpan 'public service announcement' listing all the things you should never, ever do to a Flock Safety camera, wink wink. It's a format built for the meme age — say the opposite of what you mean, point at the absurdity of a camera network with almost no public oversight, and let the audience fill in the blanks. Credit where it's due, satire like this is how a lot of people first learn these cameras exist on their street at all.

We're not going to pretend a joke video is a how-to guide, and we're not endorsing property destruction or anything that gets you a felony charge over a plastic pole box. Messing with hardware is illegal, it's risky, and it does nothing to change the contracts, the data-sharing agreements, or the city council votes that actually put these networks up. The system isn't beaten by disabling one unit at 2 a.m.; it's beaten by making the surveillance visible and making elected officials answer for it in daylight.

That's the actual leverage point: knowing where these cameras are and organizing to get them pulled through public records, council meetings, and local pressure. Check our camera map to see what's already been documented near you, and if you want to push back the way that actually works, our take-action page has the tools.
