DONT destroy flock cameras
The short version: Luneist argues that smashing Flock cameras is a bad tactic, and we agree that legal, organized pushback beats vandalism every time.
Our Take
Creator Luneist makes a point we've been hammering for a while: taking a hammer to a Flock camera might feel satisfying, but it's the least effective way to fight back. It's a felony in most states, it gets the camera replaced within days, and it hands local police and Flock's PR team an easy story about 'criminals attacking public safety tools' instead of a story about mass surveillance overreach. Property destruction doesn't shrink the network — it just paints a target on the person holding the hammer.
What actually moves the needle is slower and less cinematic: showing up to city council meetings, filing public records requests on ALPR contracts, demanding audit logs, and organizing neighbors to vote out the officials who signed off on blanket camera coverage without public input. Flock's business model depends on nobody paying attention. Cities quietly renew contracts, cops share data across state lines with zero oversight, and most residents have no idea how many readers are logging their plate every time they leave the driveway.
That's the fight worth having, and it starts with knowing what's actually out there. Check our camera map to see what's tracking your street, and hit take action for templates and steps that put pressure where it counts — on the people who approved this stuff in the first place, not on the hardware itself.
