Imagine all that effort put into catching someone smashing a stupid camera, it could’ve been used on a pedophile or something.
You’ve been warned, they’re high on the lookout for Flock vandals now.

Not sure if EMP is practical, but a small drone with a laser requires much less power and wouldn’t do the camera’s sensor any good. A drone with a can of spray paint could also cause problems. So I hope no one does either of these.
With all the cameras being re-patriated by good citizens, I’m sure a number of them already made their way to skilled hackers, tinkerers.
And given how amateurish Flock was with their most recent PR event (a reporter tried to attend, got rejected almost last minute, Flock even went behind his back to cancel his hotel booking, so our guy went full out and with a metric fuckton of RF equipment, monitored the event’s signals. WiFi, Bluetooth, wireless mics (which they often left on and just broadcasting out into the wild), I have a feeling that the whole Flock ecosystem is riddled with security issues.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some incredibly dumb stupid kill switch built into the firmware that can be triggered by something as simple as an ESP32.
What about a drone with a can of thermite
Drone with a water balloon full of paint. Aim for the solar panel.
Block the panel, the batteries don’t charge, the camera doesn’t work.
What about a satellite with an array of nuclear weapons? Thermite is such overkill, and risks harming the surroundings.
Good idea, if we blot out the sun with nuclear winter they can’t recharge.
Why not just build a star-destroyer drone and aim it at the sun? Then Flock can’t just wait it out and rebuild.
That’s a good point, but what if some remnant of humanity survives and rebuilds on another planet, and one of the survivors remembers having seen a flock camera? We should destroy all matter in the universe. Or find some way to accelerate heat death?
For the latter, could I suggest building a very large fridge and putting the universe inside it? We can attach it to a drone if that helps.
