This Isn't Your Average Camera-Meet The People Destroying The Flock Cameras
The short version: R.C Entertainment profiles the people fed up enough with Flock's ALPR network to take matters into their own hands, spotlighting a backlash that's spreading faster than the cameras themselves.
Our Take
R.C Entertainment's piece puts a human face on something we've been tracking for a while: ordinary people reaching a breaking point over a camera network they never voted for. Whether or not you agree with torching hardware, the underlying anger is legitimate. Flock's ALPR units quietly log every passing plate, timestamp, and location, building a movement history on millions of drivers who've committed no crime, and most residents find out only after the pole goes up.
What's notable is that this isn't an isolated incident — it's part of a pattern repeating in cities and towns that got zero real input before contracts were signed. When people feel locked out of the normal channels, some turn to spray paint and bolt cutters instead of city council meetings. That's not a strategy we're prescribing, but it's a predictable outcome when transparency is treated as optional by vendors and local governments alike.
If you want to know whether this is happening near you, check our camera map before it shows up on your street, and if you'd rather fight this through documentation and public records than hardware, our take-action page has the tools to do it the hard, legal way.
