People Are Destroying FLOCK Surveillance Cameras Across America
The short version: DontLieToMe's new video tracks the growing backlash against Flock cameras — vandalism, cancellations, and a Verona standoff where residents covered a camera in trash.
Our Take
DontLieToMe's video captures something we've been watching build for months: the gap between how fast Flock Safety expanded and how little consent it actually asked for. 120,000 cameras across 6,000 communities didn't happen because voters demanded it — it happened because a well-funded company sold city councils on 'safety' before anyone read the fine print on data sharing, retention, and warrantless access.
The Verona, Wisconsin detail is the one that should stick with you. A company refusing to remove its own hardware after a city cancels the contract isn't a technology company acting like a vendor — it's acting like a landlord who won't leave. When residents resort to covering a camera in trash because the company that installed it on public property won't respond to a lawful cancellation, that's not an edge case. That's a preview of what happens in every town that eventually decides it wants out.
The vandalism angle makes headlines, but the more important story is the 82 cancellations — and the fact that nearly half came in just the first five months of 2026. That's not radicals with spray paint, that's sheriffs, police chiefs, and city councils reading the Fourth Amendment tea leaves. If you want to know whether Flock is watching your street already, check our map, and if you want your city to be the next cancellation on that list, our take-action page has the playbook other communities used to get there.
