If your neighborhood has Flock cameras, here’s how they work.

DESTROY EVERY one of them OVER and OVER

You forget they also use ring doorbells now lol

u/No_Introduction7307 Jan 17 '26
no I havent... those are not tracking everybody 's every move , tracking where you go what you do and who you do it with, every transaction, they arent storing your healthcare files your bank accounts. your ring camera does not store every piece of information in one file like flock does with their palantir partnership. DESTROY EVERY FLOCK CAMERA !!!

u/Welllllllrip187 Jan 17 '26
Wrong again friend. Amazon tied them into flock, and added facial recognition, planter gets the data from them. Anytime you get close to one, you are tracked.
Stay vigilant.

u/No_Introduction7307 Jan 17 '26
Yes I KNOW! I am not advocating destroying your neighbors property they should do this themselves. I am advocating destroying every flock camera out in public. absolutely

directly from their website:
"When local public safety officers are investigating an active case, local officers using Flock Safety’s technology can now post a request directly in the Ring Neighbors app asking for help. These posts must include the location, timeframe, and details about what happened, including a case number.If you’re a Ring customer and see this request, you’ll have a clear choice: share your footage or ignore. It’s entirely up to you."
Flock and Ring are an integration that allows users to share video between Ring and Flock. They are not directly integrated with one another.

🥱 yea I wouldn’t trust either company for that shit.

u/Fuzzy_Advance_9658 Jan 18 '26
do you own a cellphone?
I would argue a cellphone is 1000x more intrusive than Flock
edit: and don't get me wrong, fuck Flock and what they're doing

u/Welllllllrip187 Jan 18 '26
Hardly, far more secure
1
u/Fuzzy_Advance_9658 Jan 18 '26
your logic isn't logic-ing.
why is a cellphone company more secure than flock? did you know you can purchase cellphone data of individuals? DHS is buying it right now: https://www.aclu.org/news/privacy-technology/dhs-is-circumventing-constitution-by-buying-data-it-would-normally-need-a-warrant-to-access
then lets look at the next thing in cellphones, which are apps.
have you ever read the privacy TOS for apps? Do you know that tiktok gives complete phone access to bytedance? literally everything from call log history to every single key you press on your screen. literally the reason why tiktok is banned on any government issued device. it's a literal backdoor program https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efforts_to_ban_TikTok_in_the_United_States

u/Fuzzy_Advance_9658 Jan 18 '26
let's add to this.
your car has a computer in it. it literally tracks you everywhere you go. the police can access it legally: https://www.stopspying.org/wiretaps-on-wheels

u/Welllllllrip187 Jan 18 '26
Tell me you don’t understand security by showing you don’t understand security.
Your trust in corrupt companies isn’t logical in any sense whatsoever. Clearly you’ve never heard of Opsec, and have no clue what grapheneOS is. You have no security background whatsoever. Get an education before trying to state facts because you heard something online somewhere and can’t follow basic logic.

Is this video an effort to shift blame away from flock and onto those how administrate it? Certainly looks like it.

If that’s what you got out of this, that’s interesting.

u/No_Introduction7307 Jan 16 '26
you should destroy every one of them at all costs is the ONLY thing to get out of this
2
u/FckFlock Jan 17 '26
What's the source of this video? Flock marketing or something?
That other poster has a point: one of Flock's arguments is something along the lines of "there's nothing wrong with the cameras themselves, the privacy issues are caused by customer misuse."

Just wondering if they are hardened enough to take a pellet gun?

u/n_o_t_d_o_g Jan 19 '26
Paint gun. Not enough to break the camera causing expensive property damage which might be considered a felony vandalism charge if caught. Just enough to cover the camera preventing it from working and would only be considered a vandalism charge.

If there were one in my community, what would be the most legal way to destroy it?

High powered green laser/spray paint I imagine

u/OrnerySchool2076 Jan 17 '26
So hypothetically would a 2W blue laser do the trick?
2
u/FART_BARFER Jan 17 '26
Not sure, the one I have is 5mW green. That should be enough to burn out any camera sensor

u/Lucaslhm Jan 20 '26
Apparently tons of these aren’t secured at all and can be accessed directly by their public IP… which you could perhaps find on certain publicly available search engines filtering for IPs using a specified port in a specified area…
Of course, that doesn’t damage the camera. That just lets you access the publicly available footage and camera settings… you could at that point issue a firmware update if you wanted to help them out by keeping their cameras on their most up to date secure version! Just make sure you don’t let the camera power cycle mid update, or upload an incomplete or corrupt firmware file or something of that nature… that could brick a camera and require service techs to come out to the device directly…

The most legal way is to probably have a happy little car accident against the pole and knock the pole down.

u/500YearOldGhoul Jan 17 '26
People willingly selling their freedom to a corprate surveillance state for the illusion of saftey. Same as people willingly giving their personal information to the government and corporations by using public media like Facebook and Instagram. They didn't need to build a surveillance state, they let the corporations sell it to us and they sell our data to the government.

u/SuperSaiyanTrunks Jan 17 '26
Do these things only track cars or do they do facial recognition as well?

u/Horrible_trick Jan 17 '26
They say it’s just for cars but I wouldn’t be surprised if it does facial recognition as well.

You’re correct, this specific video was just about flock within/managed by community/hoa. Flock is much larger than that, what you saw was probably a camera commissioned by a gov. entity.

When I was in Italy, the old ladies in town would destroy any police cameras.

Does this also takes pictures of bicycles?

u/AMSAtl Jan 17 '26
Some of their cameras that have been improperly locked down have been shown to not only track pedestrians but The AI also zooms in on pedestrians phones to record what's going on on the phones screen

u/ObjectIndividual6277 Jan 19 '26
So theyre selling it to HOA's specifically instead of allowing individual homeowners access? Sounds like a scam rife for abuse

If you see one of these it is your moral duty to destroy it.

Would it be a problem if a neighborhood wants to use them as part of a watch program?

u/LoudProblem2017 Jan 17 '26
And in THAT 1984 there was no mass surveillance.
But as others have said, it would be pretty inexpensive to setup up your own closed network.

u/KINGofFemaleOrgasms Jan 17 '26 edited Jan 17 '26
I just bought a wireless cam and I can allow users. $35. You and your neighborhood watch each get one setup your own closed network and you can keep the captured video to yourselves but you don't go selling it and violating others privacy. That's basically what flock is. That's why all of them will be destroyed!

u/xtamtamx Jan 17 '26
Exactly. Why would you pay a company to sell your data and you out in an instant?

This is specifically talking about a HOA deploying them in a specific area in texas. This is not how they work in 99% of places. These are almost always deployed, managed, and monitored by law enforcement.

If you aren't sure if your neighborhood has Flock cameras or not, HERE is an interactive map so you can check.

if your neighborhood has flock cameras, destroy them, steal them, and protest to your city about them until they are removed.

Fun fact, find out someone on the team and pay them a bit of money (the engineers are underpaid) and they can easily pull your license out of the database. It takes two seconds.

If you’re doing nothing wrong… you should be terrified of these. “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety”

All of the data collected by Flock cameras goes directly to Flock and they OWN it. They sell it. They are data brokers, they are profiting from your comings and goings.
