Get flock banned at a local level.
Get to protests on a bicycle or a bus. Carpool if you must.

Any tips for quickly breaking or ruining these?
I have a 5W laser I was going to try, but someone made a good point that random reflections / refractions could harm a nearby innocent person.
I debated a paintball gun, but that damage isn’t really permanent enough.

The issue is you might take out a few, but you’ll still get followed by the other “active” ones.
My state has flocks on every major interstate from one side to the other. I just talked to a cop recently that managed to track a suspect down from NEOH to somewhere in KY where the state police were waiting for him when he crossed state lines.
Unless we completely get rid of all flock cameras, we’re screwed.

Realistically you need to get them banned.

If you fill the paintball gun with marbles its a bit more permanent. Accuracy is definitely an issue though

They’ve started putting these up in my suburban neighborhood and I hate it…

Contribute to deflock.me. Step 1 to solving this problem is mapping them all out. Subsequent steps depend on a number of factors.

Oh yeah I’ve been helping add them as I find them, and at least one other person around me despises them too as it seems to be a race for who can get new ones up first haha

Tell your neighbors to he government is installing spying tools that can track your movements and be very angry at every municipal meeting.
