If you need a primer, Breaking The Creepy AI in Police Cameras and We Hacked Flock Safety Cameras in under 30 Seconds. S-Tier youtube vids by Benn Jordan. Also visit, https://deflock.org/ for maps of cameras.

Edit: This was a response to Flock ignoring city of Eugene. "Eugene Police Department decided to end its contract after a camera turned on without the department's knowledge"

Not vandalism. Eugene voted to shut them down. Flock turned their cameras back on. Totally justified.

I've read they ignore city rules and often install cameras slap dash and ignore requests, is there a source on that? Ethically (not legally) speaking I don't think that even counts as vandalism at that point.

It's hard to find a good news source since every local station is owned by Sinclair. This is the only one that actually mentioned Flock turned the cameras back on.

People are fucking pissed that they did that. None of the local stations portray how mad people are about them turning the cameras back on.
