Americans Are Smashing Flock Cameras

# Summary Since April 2025, at least two dozen Flock Safety surveillance cameras have been destroyed across five U.S. states by people protesting the company's connections to immigration enforcement, with one Virginia man arrested after systematically dismantling 13 cameras and facing 25 criminal charges. Public anger has intensified over documented evidence that local police conduct thousands of searches on Flock's license plate reader network for federal ICE immigration purposes, despite the company's claims of not working with immigration authorities. Cities installing Flock cameras despite widespread community opposition have subsequently seen cameras destroyed, with social media showing near-universal public support for the vandalism.
