Across the nation, people are dismantling and destroying Flock cameras that conduct warrantless vehicle surveillance, and whose data is shared with ICE.
Last week, in La Mesa, a small city just east of San Diego, California, observers happened upon a pair of destroyed Flock cameras.
Flock cameras are typically mounted on 8 to 12 foot poles and powered by a solar panel.
In recent months, people have been smashing and dismantling the surveillance devices, in incidents reported in at least five states, from coast to coast.
In Virginia, last December, a man was arrested for dismantling and destroying 13 Flock cameras throughout the state over the course of the year.
Sovern points his GoFundMe contributors to DeFlock, a website aimed at tracking and countering the rise of Flock cameras in US communities.
Here was the page that shared news of his arrest for destroying the Flock cameras:. »
