How would I go about finding a Flock camera?
Deflock.me
based
Heartwarming.
Good. We need to teach these pigs a lesson
The fun part is that these cameras are not owned, operated or property of your local jurisdiction. They are hardware/software as a service. IANAL, but I think Flock would have to sue you.
I have not personally de-flocked anything, but my local area doesn't have any that aren't tied to a business parking lot.
If some show up, I can't imagine a 5 minute walk with a hat, face mask and a can of spraypaint wouldn't be sufficient to disable one without risk. Might need a stool.
Oh, Great news!
You most definatly shouldent make a cell phone app that you can put in front of the camera that just cycles through random plates and includes copies of conststution. I wonder if you can do 10 per second. 36000 per hour all day long.
Fun fact: lots of them have exposed cables that should not be cut with a long arm pruning pole found in your grandmother's shed.
Another thing you should never ever do: mix paint and dot3 in a handheld pressurized garden poison sprayer.
What would brake fluid do?
Be aware brake fluid is like antifreeze, it tastes good to animals if they don't put bad taste in it, and kills them.
They're dying for an honorable cause. /s
Why shouldn't dot3 mixed with paint? Just so I know why to avoid it.
guessing because it goes through the sprayer
Thins the paint's viscosity down maybe?
I just learned HGTV has a Jan 7 2026 show called "Neighborhood Watch". It's like America's Funniest Home Videos, but it's all doorbell/security cameras. User-submitted, I think. I absolutely refuse to believe this was a casual idea from HGTV as they struggle to maintain viewership. There's no way this isn't funded by one of these companies, meant to continue making everyone comfortable with constant surveillance and increasing the desire to have constant recording devices to catch these one-off comedic moments.
Tagline: "Everywhere you go, cameras are recording. Your neighbors are watching."
Fuck centralized surveillance.
I would like to have a brief discussion with whoever downvoted you.
I think it was accidental.
Good.
Benn Jordan has done great videos on this stuff
