Your local government spent thousands of dollars on each one, so return the favor by protecting their investment!
This is too peaceful. Use destructive methods

Do you really not understand that this is meant to be an easy tool to disable them, so that someone could do anything (or nothing) else to them safely?
daannii@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
And it’s technically not damaging the camera. So hard to get prosecuted for vandalism.
somegeek@programming.dev 2 weeks ago
It’s silly.
You can just put a normal sock/cloth on them for that.
And the flock guys will just simply remove it and you have spent money on making that fancy cover. You can straight up smash it with the same shovel/stick that it shows in the video instead of dressing it up.

Clean the lenses cover with acetone. You’re doing a public service keeping that lenses clean and crisp.

Cameras are often built with replaceable lenses. If you’re going to do damage, make it count. A metal bat to the side, one good swing… that’s all you really need.

Fill the sock with expanding foam

We’ve got to do what we can to protect corporate property
DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Tip: You can fill it with expanding foam right before you install it. That way it won’t blow off.

Dont you tempt me to disassemble thrift store microwaves.
- Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
Don’t touch that if you’re not a radio engineer or something similar!
I also think a microwave oven wouldn’t be the best choice…

This could land you in deep Barney

why not cut down the pole, it cost them more to put one back up, also take notice of axon cameras too.
fhein@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
as much as I like this idea, I assume it would also magnify the punishment if you get caught.
chefdano3@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago I have never once witnessed or seen anyone destroy a flock camera or its pole. And no prosecutor in the world could convince me that anyone would do such a thing.
HCSOThrowaway@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I can’t think of a crime that would apply to putting this sock over a Flock camera unless there was substantial evidence linking you to some crime that was committed immediately after you did it in the coverage area.
Obviously it’s very easy to think of a crime that would apply to destroying the pole or camera.

From what I understand there are sensors other than cameras that you need to worry about that will still be active even with the lens covered

Nothing a little Faraday cage won’t solve
daannii@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I wonder if you could design these to basically 3d a frame and then attach cardboard , price of fabric, on the front. or something.
to reduce the filament use and print time.
This is kind of a big print. Good idea though.
CADmonkey@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Perhaps. But instead of a peice of fabric, maybe use a high resolution picture of someone’s asshole?
daannii@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I like the ideas you bring to the conversation
modus@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Or a photo of an empty road. They’ll just think the traffic is really light.
Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Seems to me like this could be modified to mount a laser pointer to point directly into the lens without having to stand in front of the camera to aim it.
daannii@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
They do work better/faster at closer range.

If you’re cold, they’re cold. Bring Flock cameras inside.

…Walmart bathrooms, and smash them?

Set them on fire, it creates heat.

It’ll be warm for the rest of its life.
