This Ain't Your Average Camera- Guy Got Arrested For Returning The Flock Cameras
The short version: A short from R.C Entertainment shows someone arrested after yanking down a Flock ALPR camera, spotlighting how far people will go to push back on surveillance they never consented to.
Our Take
R.C Entertainment's short is light on legal detail, but the core image says plenty: a private company bolts a license-plate camera onto public infrastructure, and when a resident physically objects, it's the resident who ends up in handcuffs, not the company that never asked permission. That asymmetry is the whole Flock story in miniature.
We don't condone vandalism or vigilante removal — that's a fast way to catch a destruction-of-property charge, and it doesn't fix the underlying problem. The actual fight is political and legal: city councils vote these contracts in, and city councils can vote them out. Vigilante action makes headlines for a day; organized public pressure at a council meeting changes policy for years.
If you want to know whether a camera like the one in this video is sitting on your street, check our map before you do anything drastic, and if you'd rather fight this the way that actually sticks, our take-action page walks you through records requests, council meetings, and the questions your local officials should be forced to answer about who's watching your plates and why.
