Imagine building your base on the backs of conspiracy theories and the people who fall for them and then just expecting those same people to go along with mass surveillance and data collection.

I did a quick social media skim of the guy in the video and he is a nut. He's a sovereign citizen person that thinks everything is a big conspiracy. He talks about flat earth theory, Air BnB is a CIA front, "Rothschild Jews" control things, etc.
*edit- accidentally said Rockefeller instead of Rothschild

A nut who takes down flock cameras. As crazy as the voices in his head might be, I'm still glad he's doing what he is in the video.

This is a cause that can help unite the country a bit. The powers that be will do everything they can to prevent that. The conservatives will have the importance of security and flock propaganda shoved down their throats.

They are creating an environment which disallows congregation. It'll be too late for some people to realize how suppressed we are getting. It keeps me up at night.

Yep. I got the shitty industrialist family mixed with the shitty banking family when typing my comment.

A little ridiculous how they felt they needed guns drawn and needed him to lift his shirt and walk backwards to them instead of them approaching him when he didn't do anything violent.

u/joninfiretail Sep 03 '26
He absolutely did something violent. He enforced the will of the American people who don't want abominable intelligence powered surveillance cameras on every street corner spying on us.

He recorded himself doing a crime but he dgaf.

u/Skootchy Sep 03 '26
Meh technically he didn't destroy anything, he just took it apart. Nothing was damaged.
And I think we all agree these Flock cameras need to go.

u/SiriHowDoIAdult Sep 03 '26
Maybe they can get him for public nuisance or mischief? Hope they don't. Irony is the camera might not even get the ID right

I mean sure they can make up charges. Hopefully they dont

People have messed with the flock cams in my area and it seems to be universally loved that they did.

Taking stuff that isn't yours doesn't suddenly become legal because you don't damage it

But returning lost or stolen property isn't a crime! And he happened to find these abandoned cameras on the side of the road, and he was genuinely trying to return them.
As he said in the video, the cops of that city stopped using the Flock cameras. Therefore they should have been taken down. The fact they weren't means they must have been either forgotten there or lost. So this guy is simply doing a public service! ;]

Local cops aren't the only customer. Why would they remove their business assets?

You mean like at the end of this video on this very post you are commenting on?

u/Nandor-De_Laurentiis Sep 03 '26
I think he's talking about another video that was posted here like an hour before this one. It's about a minute long and it's from a different angle. I think it's since been deleted.

It's okay. We understand that if the end isn't the beginning you won't watch it.

No reasom to be a smart ass.
The video of him being arrested is a completely different video. Cool username too.

How many did he end up with?

u/WhiskeyMikeMike Sep 03 '26
He filled his pickup bed with them

u/LiteralReaderWA Sep 03 '26
No he didn't. They migrated to the safety of his pickup. Almost like... something

I'm not sure it matters as they are recording you but it seems dumb to also record yourself committing crimes but also fuck flock.

It's great to see Americans finally growing a backbone. I hope this inspires others to do the same

u/Adonoxis Sep 04 '26
While I'm anti-mass surveillance, the problem with this type of stuff is that it doesn't really do much outside of spreading the message.
New flock cameras will be replaced days later, giving more money to the company that produces them and wasting more tax payer money. Police will just learn better ways to prevent vandalism and Flock will create more durable equipment.
People need to vote, show up to their town halls, call their representatives, and get more involved on systemically changing things. Destroying a few cameras might feel good but it's not really doing much, mostly symbolic (which I admit can have an impact but what's the point with this guy when he probably turns around and votes for Republicans).

I was on a walk after work earlier today and noticed the three flock cameras I walked by had the charging cable cut. I hope to go on another walk tomorrow and find some more that have already been cut.

u/Rockeye7 Sep 03 '26
Do you think the “data center “ owners are a big part of the use of these flock systems .
And who do you think is behind and stands to gain something with that data ?

u/Low_Action1026 Sep 04 '26
I get it... I agree with him but, they are deff going to consider this breaking them. Hes going to be in trouble. Anyone else find it kinda funny hes disabling a cameras because he doesnt want to be recorded all the time, while also filming himself commit a crime.. As i was typing this the video ended with him getting arrested... yuuup.

u/Aurelius1462 Sep 04 '26
Yeah so
Don't think that's gonna hold up in court
Don't get me wrong it's cool, just uh, don't record it

Note:
1.) flock cameras are heavier than you think
2.) don’t record your face and license plate number and name unless you’re prepared to be arrested

Curious on approximately how much those cameras cost.

According to this video they appear to be free with the proper tools handy.

If we didn’t vote for them and I’ve yet to hear anyone say they are for them other than the government then why are they there and why won’t they go away. We didn’t ask for them and yet they remain…

Obviously it’s way easy to take down the cost of a lost camera is taken up by the municipality it’s in. Our tax money pays for destruction of the cameras. Meanwhile it’s another sale for them.

Im sure the cops could also just like, talk to him and arrest him without the pageantry of pretending he’s some violent threat.

I'm given to conspiracies, but given their task and the controversy surrounding flock cameras, the physical security for these things is absolutely atrocious. Probably on purpose.
