Flock Cameras Melted at Gun Range
The short version: James Madison Media's video shows Flock cameras destroyed at a gun range, underscoring how public anger at ALPR surveillance keeps boiling over into vigilante action.
Our Take
James Madison Media's clip of Flock units reduced to slag at a gun range is the latest entry in a growing genre: Americans venting frustration at surveillance infrastructure they never voted for. We're not in the business of cheering property destruction, but we'd be lying if we said this footage surprised us. When communities feel steamrolled by quiet council votes and opaque vendor contracts, some people stop writing emails and start reaching for other tools.
What this video really highlights is a failure of consent. Flock cameras keep showing up on telephone poles and rural roads without meaningful public input, and when residents finally notice, the infrastructure is already live and feeding data to police departments, HOAs, and sometimes federal agencies. Incidents like this are a symptom of that broken process, not a strategy we'd recommend to anyone who wants lasting change.
If you're angry about an ALPR near you, there are legal, durable ways to fight back: find out where these cameras actually live on our map, then use our take-action guide to push your local government for transparency, audits, or outright removal. That's the fight that actually sticks.
