Someone is shininga laser pointer at the Flockcamera.#news #shorts #flockcamera
The short version: A short clip from creator starystroies shows someone pointing a laser at a Flock Safety camera, a small but telling sign of how fed up people are with unblinking roadside surveillance.
Our Take
Credit to starystroies for catching this moment on camera: someone aiming a laser pointer at a Flock Safety ALPR. We don't know the backstory, the location, or what happened next, and we're not going to speculate. But the clip is a useful snapshot of where public patience with these devices is heading.
Flock's pitch has always been that these cameras are passive, harmless infrastructure quietly logging plates for police. Clips like this are a reminder that plenty of regular people experience them as something else entirely: unaccountable eyes bolted to poles on their own streets, installed with little notice and even less consent. Frustration with that imbalance doesn't come out of nowhere.
We'd rather see that energy channeled into documentation and organizing than into stunts that can get someone arrested for tampering with surveillance equipment. If there's a Flock camera near you, log it on the map so neighbors can see where this network actually reaches, and check our take-action page for the legal, effective ways to push back on ALPR expansion in your town.
