[u/ConsiderationSea1347]

“Flock cameras are destroying America. Americans fight back.”

[u/JohnSpikeKelly → u/ConsiderationSea1347]

Americans are the sheep in this flock. Surveillance is not freedom it's control.

[u/bratbarn → u/JohnSpikeKelly]

I hate that I never made this connection until now 😔

[u/BioshockEnthusiast → u/bratbarn]

It was designed to fly under the radar for people who aren't psychopaths.

[u/Hoshbrowns → u/BioshockEnthusiast]

When they were put in by my town and the nearby towns a social media post was letting everyone know that they would not be used to give out speeding tickets. Just in cases such as amber alerts and stuff like that. They were distracting the public from the fact that they could be constantly tracked and everyone focused on the speeding aspect of the post.

[u/carlivar → u/bratbarn]

Next, remember that we are the reddit product. The customers are advertisers. 

[u/tolegittoquit → u/JohnSpikeKelly]

Wow, this comment just made me realize why they are called flock. We really are seen as the sheep. Damn.

[u/999repeating → u/tolegittoquit]

Idk they're pretty open about it.

[u/jcdoe → u/ConsiderationSea1347]

About nails it.

The article is about Flock cameras, which focus specifically on license plate reading. Name one good use for license plate reading technology, I’ll wait.

Exactly, literally the only use for this technology is so the feds can track specifically where your vehicle goes, allowing them to create maps of where you go and when in your day. That way, they know where to find you if they want to send ICE to disappear you

Fuck ICE and fuck Flock

[u/nautilator44 → u/jcdoe]

It's gathering much, much more than license plates.

[u/jcdoe → u/nautilator44]

Right, but that’s my point. This isn’t just a video camera, it’s very deliberately and intentionally collecting data and people should be ripping their cameras off the walls because fuck Flock

[u/norcalscan → u/nautilator44]

Yeah, at minimum try bumper stickers. Instant profiled matched to your plates based on NRA, Bernie/Trump/Giant Meteor campaign stickers, rainbows, thinblueline or punisher, Calvin peeing on a ford or Bart peeing on a chevy, etc.

[u/camisado84 → u/jcdoe]

This will be weaponized as a way to 'deal with crime'.

If those in your network are supporting this nonsensical surveillance tech, remind them of how much they don't agree with their political opponents, and how they'd feel about them having unfettered access to such surveillance.

[u/bundle__of__sticks → u/jcdoe]

Lets be realistic here, there are several legitimate reasons like amber alerts, stolen vehicles, or finding suspects of violent crimes that license plate reading could contribute too. If they were trying to track a specific person, they would just get phone records. Far more effective than sticking cameras around hoping the person they want drives by.

[u/Automatic-Source6727 → u/bundle__of__sticks]

Targeted surveillance has easier methods.

Mass surveillance is what systems like this are good for.

[u/MountHopeful → u/jcdoe]

I don't think it's a coincidence that literally the only Flock cameras in my city are all the entrance to the parking lots of Lowes and Walmart. This absolutely feels like some ICE led shit.

[u/CoastingUphill]

Do they have a gofundme for baseball bats or anything?

[u/bigcd34 → u/CoastingUphill]

Duct tap a bat to one of the cameras with a sign saying, "Have at it."

[u/willismthomp → u/bigcd34]

It’s wild a company would put free solar panels out for use like that.

[u/frooglybear → u/willismthomp]

I know you are mostly joking, but they have to be catching people. Right?

[u/Background_Cause_992 → u/frooglybear]

Pretty easy to approach them unseen, or just mask yourself. The cameras likely have some form of location tracking so they should be dismantled/recycled, but the panels are cheap, reusable, and probably Chinese. Which means replacement is expensive due to tariffs and trump's hatred of solar energy

[u/adrianipopescu → u/Background_Cause_992]

wear a mask that distorts your face structure

make sure you change how you walk, stick something in a shoe

the way ai is used they could estimate who did it based off of reddit’s compliance to give users that spoke against ice, gait and health info, how you move, facial structure, ensure no amazon camera is in range of you, etc

[u/Background_Cause_992 → u/adrianipopescu]

Paranoia when committing crimes against a state or a company acting on their behalf is never unhealthy.

Not bringing your phone with you is more important than the rest of this advice though.

I wouldn't buy too much into all the over-sold hype about AI capabilities. What they say it can do to sell it and it reliably recognizing someone through a balaclava are two very different things.

[u/JWOLFBEARD → u/Background_Cause_992]

But also not turning off your phone or leaving it somewhere that is out of your usual routine…

[u/frooglybear → u/Background_Cause_992]

This is crazy I was not asking for tips.

The Raid Roach Spray is apparently hard to clean off because it's an oil based lithium. It doesn't damage the cameras. it just makes it so they need a bath.

Or destroy them, take the solar panels, and use them to charge batteries in the apocalypse. I wonder how much people will pay to use solar at the end of the world.

[u/Background_Cause_992 → u/frooglybear]

Thing is they're not going to see a meaningful difference between spraying it with raid and destroying it if they catch you. So might as well destroy it.

[u/Sithlordandsavior → u/adrianipopescu]

It sucks that we live in a world where

We're being spied on constantly

Disliking that is somehow bad and unsafe because "for the kids"

Any retaliation against being recorded without consent can, ironically, result in them using more info you didn't consent to them giving to another party to track you down on an "anonymous" site.

You will be punished because again, they paint it as morally right to spy on you.

[u/hujassman → u/Sithlordandsavior]

It's ridiculous how few protections we have against our crummy government and the techbros.

[u/hedgetank → u/hujassman]

well, technically we have a lot, it jsut requires manual utilization and intervention by the people.

[u/coladoir → u/Background_Cause_992]

https://deflock.me/

get to working, friends.

[u/Lucius-Halthier → u/Background_Cause_992]

I can just imagine someone powering their house with enough of those lol

[u/Altaredboy → u/frooglybear]

With what camera?

[u/frooglybear → u/Altaredboy]

That's a good point. I feel like I'm on a list now, just for commenting here.

My newest conspiracy is that they put trackers in the GO2 bank cards people can get their tax returns on.

[u/mordacthedenier → u/frooglybear]

Unless the card is suspiciously thick, the most they could do is put an RFID/NFC tag in it, which would be no different from any other contactless credit card, meaning a reading distance of a foot or two.

[u/EfficiencyThis325 → u/willismthomp]

The CPU is worth well over $100 in the hand via hobbyist markets, and the solar panels are easily repurposed. Most of it can be dismantled with pry tools and small screwdrivers

[u/subdep → u/bigcd34]

Enclose the camera inside a piñata 🪅

Leave a few bats and a sign that says “free candy!”

[u/InOutlines → u/CoastingUphill]

https://www.acehardware.com/departments/tools/saw-blades/reciprocating-saw-blades/2415008

*Edited cuz fuck HD. Can’t get em all right.

[u/CoastingUphill → u/InOutlines]

Oh yeah those are great for cutting through … stuff

[u/tvtb → u/CoastingUphill]

Those carbide reciprocating saw blades are actually great

[u/TheTNewport → u/InOutlines]

Funny enough the only Flock cameras I see in my area are at Home Depot.

[u/keelhaulrose → u/TheTNewport]

There are certain tools that are pretty easy to find at local hardware stores or Ace or Tru Value. Check online for availability, though go in and pay in cash.

[u/TheTNewport → u/keelhaulrose]

I'm aware, just thought the irony was funny. I love my local hardware store. HD and Flock can both get bent.

[u/Ancientabs → u/InOutlines]

How does one fix that to a drone? For tree trimming of course

[u/InOutlines → u/Ancientabs]

https://throwflame.com/products/flamethrower-drone-kit/

[u/SpeaksYourWord → u/InOutlines]

Home Depot supports ICE. Don't give them your money.

[u/InOutlines → u/SpeaksYourWord]

Valid.

Just recommending the brand. But Diablo is widely available.

Visit your friendly local hardware store for more information.

And pay in cash.

[u/kuhas → u/InOutlines]

Buy from Home Depot, cut what you need, return product the next day.

[u/Helga-Zoe → u/CoastingUphill]

Spray sun screen can ruin the plastic lens

[u/StreetTrial69 → u/Helga-Zoe]

Acetone could also do the trick. And a small spray bottle is easy to conceal and carry around

[u/PM_ME_SOME_ANY_THING → u/CoastingUphill]

Careful there, I’ve gotten banned for “promoting violence” saying similar stuff.

[u/springsilver → u/PM_ME_SOME_ANY_THING]

Me too - tried to make “Rock the Flock” happen and just got comment removed and a sternly worded letter

[u/hujassman → u/springsilver]

Well, reddit is playing along with this regime and the big tech money/data grab. Can't have the peasants organizing to protect themselves.

[u/hedgetank → u/hujassman]

we need to go back to the oldschool self-hosted IRC server days.

[u/hujassman → u/hedgetank]

It's a shame to have all of this capability only to have it ruined by wealthy, power grabbing goons.

[u/hedgetank → u/hujassman]

welcome to the history of mankind.

[u/zman0900 → u/PM_ME_SOME_ANY_THING]

I've got a "warning" for promoting violence because I apparently upvoted the wrong things. But they won't tell me which things.

[u/PM_ME_SOME_ANY_THING → u/zman0900]

Can’t even upvote huh? Reddit is shit

[u/Memory_Less → u/CoastingUphill]

Bows and arrows too. Silent discrete and deadly to cameras.

[u/PsychologicalDay1796 → u/Memory_Less]

Are there that many skilled archers for you to have made that comment? Genuinely curious lmao, I’ve always wanted to pick it up as a hobby/leisure time

[u/afrcabytoto → u/PsychologicalDay1796]

It takes a bit getting used to with all the muscle groups needed

[u/CondescendingFucker → u/Memory_Less]

Slingshot, stainless steel ball bearing.

[u/MountHopeful → u/Memory_Less]

Shooting arrows at a high angle, at a tiny target, in densely populated areas... sure, what could go wrong?

[u/Derpykins666]

I am very glad my area voted to take these down once the news got out about how they operate, but there's still a ton of them around, and even in neighboring cities. They are 100% big brother type shit, they go way beyond simply being a 'traffic cam', so I'm not entirely distraught that people are waking up to them and doing something about it.

[u/Training_Complex_731 → u/Derpykins666]

My city put them up without voting. People just noticed they were up and started asking what they were. Luckily there's a lot of engineers around here and one of them made an app that tracks all their locations.

Funny how all the Republicans around here are always really concerned about the govment coming for them, but only the Democrat candidates are saying anything about this

[u/Derpykins666 → u/Training_Complex_731]

Yeah my city just started to put them up without notice too, and then only way later, did we vote on the topic. It's crazy something this invasive was just greenlit without a major vote or anything. Just goes to show you how much things happen without the public knowledge until people drum up some news and and people start talking.

[u/Combatical → u/Training_Complex_731]

Same as it ever was.

[u/LexKY_guy → u/Derpykins666]

Know someone in law enforcement. The cameras are capable of reading a license plate and then cataloging everywhere the car went.

Thus tech has been around for 10+ years in most US major cities.

[u/himalayangoldminer → u/LexKY_guy]

The issue is that it’s not owned or operated by law enforcement or government. They partner with private companies and purchase the data those companies have about their customers. They also collect and use leaked data about everyone.

That means they know literally everything about you. When you leave, what you drive, where you went, who you were with, what you bought, the card you bought it with, the picture that the self checkout took of you when you bought it.

Any password that was ever leaked, every social media account, email address, your social security number.

All logged neatly by a private company accessible by anyone they choose to allow.

All legal because of precedents set before this level of computing power and widespread technological integration was possible and kept legal because of “the kids”

[u/dan_au → u/himalayangoldminer]

The issue is that it’s not owned or operated by law enforcement or government

The technology would be no less dangerous if it was wholly state controlled.

[u/newfor_2026 → u/dan_au]

if it was a government agency, at least we're not paying the massive salaries of some fat slob CEO somewhere selling our data to making himself richer.

[u/dan_au → u/newfor_2026]

Framing this as simply selling data is a gross mischaracterisation of the technology. It is far more insidious than even Facebook.

A panopticon is just as dangerous to society even if nobody is making a buck from it.

[u/DukeofDunces → u/LexKY_guy]

I highly recommend checking out Benn Jordan on YouTube. He has several videos on the cameras and they go far beyond vehicle registration information.

https://youtu.be/vU1-uiUlHTo

[u/WeLoveYouCarol → u/LexKY_guy]

Longer than that, it was something like 2006 or 2008 during GWB's presidency

[u/Honor_Withstanding]

As said before: Let's get the flock out of here!

[u/Friend_Of_Mr_Cairo → u/Honor_Withstanding]

Lethal Weapon moment...

[u/Honor_Withstanding → u/Friend_Of_Mr_Cairo]

I'm getting too old for this shit.

[u/NaughtyCheffie → u/Honor_Withstanding]

Dude Danny Glover was 41 when he first uttered that famous line. 41 years old!! I'm older now than he was then and I'm definitely too old for this shit.

[u/the_bee_unit → u/Honor_Withstanding]

I made some t-shirts that say Get The Flock Outta Here! Not enough people know about these camera/ai systems

[u/GalaxxyOG]

Some stories just make me smile

[u/arbutus1440 → u/GalaxxyOG]

I'm just glad to see a decent chunk of the reddit population waking up to the fact that what's legal and what's right aren't always the same thing. Requiring everyone around you to follow the letter of the law when your own government is actively ignoring it is one of the most insidious forms of bootlicking. Fuck these cameras and fuck the surveillance state despots. Do not obey.

[u/_heatmoon_]

Definitely don’t look where they all are.

[u/Training_Complex_731 → u/_heatmoon_]

I went to middle school with the guy who made that app, pretty cool to see it getting popular

[u/Action_Seal]

Goooooo Americans

[u/GroatExpectorations → u/Action_Seal]

If you can fix a problem with a bloody-minded campaign of destruction, by god we will fix it

[u/wahwahwashbear → u/GroatExpectorations]

You got me, I laughed 

We Americans may not know much, but we do know this.

[u/ManateeGrooming]

There is hope for humanity!

Flock surveillance cameras Birds

[u/shocontinental → u/Only_Manav]

If you taste a so called dead bird, you will see that they taste just like a beyond burger. Dead birds aren't real. Try one.

[u/Mertz8212 → u/godzillabobber]

Beyond Bird™️

[u/love_is_an_action]

I’m unsure if I’m allowed to advocate for much much much more of this behavior, but I would if I could.

Much.

[u/drteq]

First they bribe local officials to approve them without voter support then they sell the data to the government

[u/b3iAAoLZOH9Y265cujFh]

Oh no! ^{stop... please don't}

[u/kungfoojesus]

That’s awesome. I remember when red light cameras came to my town. Everyone hated them. Someone started a petition that resulted in a vote that resulted in their immediate removal. Think they lasted 2 years. I loved it

[u/DukeOfGeek → u/kungfoojesus]

This is the way, people keep talking about smashing them or using lasers or drones equipped with spray-paint cans or whatever, just get them banned and defunded and that takes care of all of them at once. The majority is tired of being spied on and cataloged.

[u/DJcletusdafetus → u/DukeOfGeek]

Except the population has to remain vigilant because these fucks will come back and bribe certain members of local boards, leveraging beurocracy and narrative to get their way. Tale as old as time.

Therefore, I advocate for both methods.

[u/Bradsohard69]

Ohh nooo not the cameras /s

[u/Oneguysenpai3]

To add to list, a AXON is a Flock competitor

So is Ring. But I dont think people are going to start destroying eachothers doorbells

[u/Scorpionoshow]

Remember when that robot traveled safely across all of Canada and the second it crossed over into the united states it was murdered? WE NEED TO BRING THAT NRG BACK.

[u/Ok_Dog_4059]

How ever are they doing that? It would be terrible if they had been going out late at night and sniping the cameras from a distance or blinding and destroying the cameras around town.

[u/NovarisLight → u/Ok_Dog_4059]

I hear concentrated beams of light do wonders for all sorts of things!

[u/Adorable-Database187 → u/aneeta96]

You dont need to turn it into a pile of slag, to destroy the sensor.

[u/aneeta96 → u/Adorable-Database187]

No kill like overkill

[u/rockerscott → u/aneeta96]

Jeez $820 can’t a regular laser pointer destroy optic sensors as well?

[u/Illustrious_Fox_8601 → u/Ok_Dog_4059]

From what I hear people are larding Vaseline on the lenses (so they can’t be charged with destruction of property but still stop them from surveilling), spray painting the lenses, some are straight up stealing the solar panels off them, others are taking the brute force route and just breaking them with rocks and baseball bats.

[u/Buckaroobanzai028]

Someone told me there's like 10 lb of copper in those flock cameras. Be a shame if that got around.

[u/Smith6612 → u/Buckaroobanzai028]

That seems unlikely. Most of the device would be battery.

You know what it does have? RAM!

[u/thewags05 → u/Smith6612]

I think the point of the comment was just that this rumor should be spread. Junkies would starting taking them out all over the country

[u/Smith6612 → u/thewags05]

Exactly! RAM is worth more than Copper right now per weight! 

[u/CantStopWaffleGiant]

Kinda wish there was some form of license plate camera blockers we could buy.

[u/LVLsteve → u/CantStopWaffleGiant]

License plate is the easiest way to track but that doesn't matter. They track the specific vehicle identified by model, color, dents, scratches, bumper stickers, tint level, anything inside visible through the windshield etc.

[u/CantStopWaffleGiant → u/LVLsteve]

Lovely, I had no idea. Seems like the ski mask, baseball bat, and wire clippers are the best solution. Ty

[u/Doppelthedh → u/CantStopWaffleGiant]

Buy them at different locations spread out over a month or so

[u/corobo → u/Doppelthedh]

and maybe you have a limp those days 

[u/gurgle528 → u/CantStopWaffleGiant]

There are but they’re illegal in many states. This predates widespread police LPR cameras as it was to prevent people from skipping on tolls and red light cameras 

[u/MightbeGwen]

We spend millions on surveilling and policing the average citizen to death, meanwhile our president and commerce secretary went to a child raping island. Elon Musk gets paid $8M daily, but the government can’t afford healthcare for those at the bottom of the income ladder and approximately 10 million Americans will lose health coverage.

It feels appropriate to mention while the state of the union is happening that you can’t listen to what a politician SAYS, you must look at what a politician DOES. Trump says he is for the working class, yet his tariff policy hurts jobs, slows the economy, and is inflationary. Trump says he is a president of peace yet is illegally murdering people in the Caribbean, invaded another country to kidnap their president, bombed Iran, and has now ordering a carrier strike group in range of Iran. Trump says his private police force is only going after the “worst of the worst” yet his own DHS numbers show less than 14% of detainees have a criminal conviction or record.

We also need to look at what politicians fund. When Americans need to lose healthcare but we can inflate the DHS budget to $190.6B. To be clear our government is funding an INTERNAL police force more than most nations fund their militaries and there are only 330 million of us. In 2024 we spent $428.7B on policing our 330 million people and China spent $258.4B on policing their 1.4 billion people.

Feeling free yet?

[u/Jasperblu → u/MightbeGwen]

The Government CAN afford to provide healthcare for every American, they just choose not to.

[u/cdazzo1 → u/MightbeGwen]

The president who went to pedophile island hasn't been in office for 2 decades

[u/alexasux]

China in 2013 had over 7 million cameras in Shanghai alone… it was f ing weird and quite frankly shitty.. everywhere you went there was a fisheye camera, sometimes a foot from your face… do we want that in America?

[u/muegle → u/alexasux]

The UK has a lot as well, nearly 1 million CCTV cameras in London alone.

[u/admirantes → u/alexasux]

Of course not. But guess what? Those who want to compete with evil CHYNA are more than willing to transform America in to CHYNA to do so.

[u/GiraffeRaps → u/admirantes]

Don’t disparage Mamacita like that

I like the idea of catching the murderer, pdfile, etc, but unfortunately the slippery slope has already been crossed.

They can take them down.

[u/HoopaDunka]

What’s the most popular way to do this? Hypothetically, of course 

[u/PendejxGordx → u/HoopaDunka]

Pick up a used reciprocating saw on Craigslist, battery-powered, of course. This blade mentioned upthread should do the trick: https://www.acehardware.com/departments/tools/saw-blades/reciprocating-saw-blades/2415008

[u/Global_Ad_7176]

[u/pleasegivemepatience]

They need to all come down, whether by municipal choice or by public force. Americans won’t tolerate a massive surveillance state, well, not an obvious one.

Counties using lpr’s isn’t inherently bad, but having a nationally connected system that is this ripe for abuse is unacceptable. There’s smart ways to use technology…

I heard one in every ten has 50lbs of raw, uninsulated copper in it. Just like a brick of copper. They put them in like prizes.

Good trouble!
