People are literally fighting back against Flock cameras
The honeymoon phase with neighborhood surveillance seems to be hitting a rough patch.
It turns out that when you blanket neighborhoods with Flock surveillance cameras, not everyone is thrilled about being tracked every time they grab a coffee. Across the country, residents have started treating these poles like piñatas.
People are finding creative ways to disable, spray-paint, or just yank down the hardware. It is less of a coordinated rebellion and more of a spontaneous "get this thing off my street" vibe. The tech promised to catch bad guys, but it seems to have mostly succeeded in making neighbors feel like they are living in an open-air prison.
Privacy is apparently still a thing people care about, even if it has to be defended with a pair of bolt cutters.
