Your local government spent thousands of dollars on each one, so return the favor by protecting their investment!

If you’re cold, they’re cold. Bring Flock cameras inside.
Set them on fire, it creates heat.
It’ll be warm for the rest of its life.
Tip: You can fill it with expanding foam right before you install it. That way it won’t blow off.
This is too peaceful. Use destructive methods
Do you really not understand that this is meant to be an easy tool to disable them, so that someone could do anything (or nothing) else to them safely?
It’s silly.
You can just put a normal sock/cloth on them for that.
And the flock guys will just simply remove it and you have spent money on making that fancy cover. You can straight up smash it with the same shovel/stick that it shows in the video instead of dressing it up.
It’s performative.
No one is stopping you from doing these things.
I’m not from the US. But we have similar things where I’m from and most of them are destroyed, even though the penalty might be death.
Our people are too brave.
And it’s technically not damaging the camera. So hard to get prosecuted for vandalism.
Clean the lenses cover with acetone. You’re doing a public service keeping that lenses clean and crisp.
Cameras are often built with replaceable lenses. If you’re going to do damage, make it count. A metal bat to the side, one good swing… that’s all you really need.
From what I understand there are sensors other than cameras that you need to worry about that will still be active even with the lens covered
If they are cold, a little EMP burst will keep them warm the test of their lives.
Dont you tempt me to disassemble thrift store microwaves.
Don’t touch that if you’re not a radio engineer or something similar!
I also think a microwave oven wouldn’t be the best choice…
Not a radio engineer but I did grow up with someone who worked on radar systems in the military before becoming an electrician. If Im not sure what wires to lick I know who to ask…
Maybe a directionnal antenna could be interesting…
Keep us updated!
A waveguide isnt too hard to make.
This video isnt me, but it shows someone knocking down a drone with a microwave magnetron.
This could land you in deep Barney
why not cut down the pole or destroy the camera, it cost them more to put one back up, also take notice of axon cameras too. it magnifies the cost if you remove the camera, and they spend more to have a person come out and put one back up. a sleeve, paint bull can simply be removed.
Glue.
as much as I like this idea, I assume it would also magnify the punishment if you get caught.
I have never once witnessed or seen anyone destroy a flock camera or its pole. And no prosecutor in the world could convince me that anyone would do such a thing.
I wonder if you could design these to basically 3d print a frame and then attach cardboard , piece of fabric, or something on the front.
to reduce the filament use and print time.
This is kind of a big print. Good idea though.
Perhaps. But instead of a peice of fabric, maybe use a high resolution picture of someone’s asshole?
I like the ideas you bring to the conversation
Or a photo of an empty road. They’ll just think the traffic is really light.

Color printers are snitches.
Well spotted.
Seems to me like this could be modified to mount a laser pointer to point directly into the lens without having to stand in front of the camera to aim it.
We’ve got to do what we can to protect corporate property
