People Are Destroying Flock Cameras
The short version: Pancho's video surveys the growing wave of vandalism against Flock ALPR cameras, a sign of how much public anger this surveillance network has stirred.
Our Take
Pancho's rundown of Americans taking matters into their own hands against Flock cameras is worth a watch, not because we're cheering property destruction, but because of what it signals: people are fed up with being tracked block by block without ever being asked. When folks start spray-painting lenses or yanking cameras down, that's a symptom of a much bigger failure — local governments quietly signing contracts with Flock Safety and skipping the public debate entirely.
We'd rather see that anger channeled into something that actually sticks: public records requests, city council showdowns, and policy fights that get these systems ripped out through the front door, not the back. Vandalism gets headlines for a week; a city council vote to cancel a Flock contract changes things for good. If you want to know whether your neighborhood is already wired up, check our camera map before deciding your next move.
Credit to Pancho for putting a spotlight on how widespread this backlash has become — it's a sign the surveillance-industrial complex can't just roll these cameras out unopposed anymore. If you'd rather fight back with paperwork instead of paint, our take-action guide walks you through it.
