Americans Are Destroying Flock Surveillance Cameras in Growing Wave of Anti-Surveillance Sabotage

Summary

A growing wave of civil disobedience is targeting Flock Safety's surveillance cameras across the United States. Since April 2025, at least 25 cameras have been destroyed in five states (California, Connecticut, Virginia, Georgia, and Texas). One Virginia man faces 25 criminal charges for systematically destroying 13 cameras, citing the Fourth Amendment as his motivation. The sabotage is fueled by public anger over Flock's documented connections with ICE and the company's expansion into audio surveillance. Cities are now hiding camera locations in response. Reddit threads show widespread public support for the destruction. The article frames this as a backlash against a $7.5 billion surveillance company that ignored community opposition.
