How could the cameras ID them? I thought they only read license plates? /s
deflock.me
Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) are AI-powered cameras that capture and analyze images of all passing vehicles, storing details like your car’s location, date, and time. They also capture your car’s make, model, color, and identifying features such as dents, roof racks, and bumper stickers, often turning these into searchable data points. These cameras collect data on millions of vehicles—regardless of whether the driver is suspected of a crime. While these systems can be useful for tracking stolen cars or wanted individuals, they are mostly used to track the movements of innocent people.

That fucking spray foam shit is impossible to get off.
Good.
Lots of tongue and a tiny bit of teeth and you’ll be getting them off all day.
We should be careful about spreading this news around. It might trigger a wave of copycat attacks and significantly impair Flock's ability to go about their business of spying on everyone. And the more this happens the less likely they are to win new contracts, so their whole business could end up in serious trouble.
naw, they didn’t do it. they were with me eating ice cream.
can confirm, it was the squirrels in the area, those lil fuckers are smart af

Be careful with the type that is meant to insulate walls, they spray a lot farther, and make a real mess. Be sure to wear PPE if you use this type. A full face mask is recommended.

I'd say a full face mask is always recommended for this type of ... civic work.
Hear me out: Paintball projectiles containing expanding foam. Someone figure this out.
That's easy to remove. It would be really sad if someone slapped some etching cream on the lense though. That's a non-removable, chemically permanent change to the glass.

Causes severe burns that may not be immediately visible or painful
Is scary as hell to me
Hydroflouric acid dont get it on you
Our chemistry teacher warned us about this stuff. She told us that if you get it in you, don’t hesitate to call out immediately because you will not feel anything and think you’re okay until it’s too late and under your skin. And then it burns. So, so much worse than if you had washed it off right away.
I used this in 8th grade to etch glass for art class.
It's not as bad as all that. Just wear gloves and if you get some on you, just rinse it off.
It won't start dissolving your flesh or anything and needs time to even etch the glass.
Time and resources wasted ain't nothing and you can spray the foam from a bit of a distance.
Whoever they allegedly are, I saw them elsewhere at the time of the incident.
Nah, those cameras come with foam on the lens. Nothing to see here.
I see what you did there. Mostly because I don't have foam on my glasses.

That damn Netanyahu if at it again!
O yeah, I actually saw some ICE agents nearby when it happened. How many would you say it would have taken to do this?
Just boys being boys
They were dressed in navy blue with badges, guns and cuffs. The call was coming from inside the dystopia.
It seems like these flock camera things are too expensive to maintain.
Not that I imagine anyone is really inclined to help the police with their inquiries but given the fact that the police don't have any information I'm not sure how the public are going to help.
Here's a crime scene there are no apparent witnesses and no fingerprint evidence, please help.
What exactly did they expect to happen here? Even if somebody did come forward and point the finger of blame st someone, there's no actual evidence you could go to court with.
you can help us by giving us all the location of the flock and axon cameras.
Nah, we had a movie night when this happened.
We were all there
I know exactly who did that. I just can’t remember their names, genders or anything else important that may be helpful in getting to the bottom of this malarkey.
Sooooo, reckon there’s that.
It’s ok another commenter positively identified the perp as Benjamin Netanyahu so hopefully the authorities can arrest him.
There are about 200 species of wasps. You've heard of paper wasps, this must've been foam wasps.
Too many people are going to "sneak up" on a flock camera just to have it ID their phone
Whoever it was, they were playing boardgames with me that day.
So what have we learned in this "all surveillance, all the time!" world? You sneak up on things from behind. That sticky, hard to remove, expanding foam is not that expensive and is available everywhere now that winter is on it's way.
I may be paranoid, but I’m starting to think this is some sort of test...why wouldn’t they just install 360° cameras. Like with Skydio lobbying the US government to ban DJI drones. It feels like they want us to take these cameras down. Is flock the only camera system in the US? Why are we so focused on flock cameras? Anyway, I’m off to the hardware store to pick up some expanding foam for a DIY home project in my garage.
There are other cameras. Axon is another company that sells them, but their system only runs regionally, not nationally, which is why Flock was chosen in the first place. A bunch of towns are removing Flock cameras and replacing them with Axon, and a lot of people haven't heard of Axon so it goes unnoticed.
I don't understand how people haven't heard of Axon. They make Taser, it is literally their brand name for the device. They also make the vast majority of police body cams, and related systems for things like vehicles now.
They're mentioned in the news basically every time something happens with their shit.
