Software that takes out WIFI CCTV cameras etc

Our Take

Credit to the channel Digital ID, Mass Surveillance and Digital Currency for keeping a spotlight on the sheer volume of networked cameras now blanketing public and private space. Whatever you think of any specific tool demonstrated in the video, the underlying frustration is real: ordinary people are increasingly surrounded by devices they never consented to, don't control, and often can't even identify. That's the same frustration that drives our work cataloging Flock Safety ALPR installations block by block.

We'd caution readers against treating "jam it" or "disable it" software as a real solution. Beyond the obvious legal exposure — interfering with surveillance hardware, even cameras you find objectionable, can trigger serious criminal and civil liability depending on jurisdiction and ownership — these workarounds don't touch the real problem: the data pipelines, retention policies, and law-enforcement sharing agreements that make networks like Flock's so powerful. A disabled camera gets replaced. A community that organizes, documents, and pushes back on policy doesn't.

If you want to actually do something about license plate surveillance in your area, start by seeing what's already been deployed near you on our camera map, then use our take-action resources to push your city council or county board for transparency, audits, and real limits on ALPR data sharing. That's the fight that actually sticks.
