This Ain't Your Average Camera-The People Who Are Bagging Up Flock Cameras

Our Take

R.C Entertainment's video captures something we've been tracking for a while: ordinary people deciding they've had enough of being tracked block by block and taking direct action against Flock Safety cameras. Whether it's a trash bag, a hood, or spray paint, the message is the same — these devices weren't installed with meaningful public consent, and communities are pushing back the only way that feels available to them.

We're not here to cheer on property destruction, but we understand the frustration driving it. Flock's pitch is always "public safety," yet the reality is a growing database of everywhere your car has been, shared across agencies with little oversight, few audit trails, and almost no public input before installation. When people feel locked out of the decision-making process, some will resort to bagging cameras instead of writing city council. That's a sign the system for public accountability is broken, not that people are unreasonable.

If you'd rather fight this with information than duct tape, start by checking our camera map to see what's already been deployed near you, and head to our take-action page for ways to push back through public records requests, city council meetings, and local organizing. Credit to R.C Entertainment for putting a camera on this underreported form of resistance — it's a conversation every city with Flock contracts needs to be having in the open.
